I've seen both problems, but as CDPlayer works for me, and I want to have a CD 
burn program, I'm kind of motivated to try to fix the problem before I import 
those Apps. As a maintainer of the port I feel responsible about the user 
experience, therefore I usually test a lot, depending on complexity of an app, 
before I import it.

After connecting the cable from the CD-ROM drive to the card, I got sound with 
CDPlayer. But since this is the same with the openbsd cdio program, its not 
worse, so this is a limitation, but otherwise it works fine. Btw, I used 
SystemPreferences for CDPlayer, and had to patch it a bit too, to make it work. 
When I hopefully get this header problem sorted out, then I planned to send the 
patches I have to you, hoping for a new release ;)

With Burn, I also had the problem, I was able to configure it with the 
preferences, put contents onto a disk, and then, after clicking the burn 
button, it started to use 100% CPU, but did not burn the CD. I planned to look 
into that, after I have sorted the CDPlayer problems out. And well, also send 
patches to you.

Cheers,
Sebastian
