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.
It's enough to play back in audio mode, not in CDDA mode. When there's scratches, you'll want to re-read the part of the disc that had problems...
