Volume control in playcd is at max value (10). You have to use
                
        # mixer cd 80:80

to gain volume

playcd is a beatiful tool, believe me: use "m" (play mode) for
repeat track.

playcd can demostrate the UNIX power in full evidency. playcd accept
command in stdin.

Example 1 : play track 2, then s)top, then q)uit
----------

        (echo ">>"; echo s ; echo q ) | playcd

Example 2: eject CD
------------

        echo seq | plaucd

        I send here command s)top, e)ject and q)uit

Example 3: play track 5, with volume 1/2, repeat mode
--------

        cat <<END | playcd
>>>>
        -----
        m
        q
        END

playcd is a script-programmable cd-player of 6368 bytes!!!
Think about.
