Is there a preference to limit the drive speed when playing compact disc digital audio? I find that "eject -x 8 /dev/cdrom" is much quieter than the full speed (such as 48x) that appears to be the default. Would it be a preference of hal, nautilus, each player application, gnome-desktop, or what?
1x is enough for playing. Imho it should be a preference of the player applications, because the speed should not be limited, when one wants to rip the cd.
