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.
