I've never had autofs (or any other kind of auto-mount support) on any
of my systems (not installed, no headers, no libs--even the source code
has never touched my system) and auto-play CD's/DVD's/... works for me.
Granted, I turned off auto-play because I find that 51% of the time that
I put a disc in my computer it does the wrong thing (i.e. it starts
playing the disc, but I wanted to rip it or needed a disc in there for
some non-Myth app, or ...). I prefer to put in a disc and then do what
I want (instead of undoing what I don't want it to do before I do what I
want to do--say that three times quickly :).
Again, this might be a "fixed in trunk" thing.
I really wanted to stay out of this thread and let someone who actually
uses MythMusic/Auto-play CD/... give the real (and correct) story, but I
jumped in to try to prevent it from going too far in the "Myth can't
play CD's" direction. I'm now in about 6 feet over my head and--no
offense to devs or users of the MythMusic--I have no desire to start
swimming in the MythMusic pool. Though I will admit that when I first
started using Myth, as I played and ripped the few CD's I had, MythMusic
is what led me to realize that I have a pathetic music collection.
That--and not MythMusic--is the real reason I don't use MythMusic. 'net
radio lets me listen to the music I want--and leaves all of my 3TB for
TV storage. :)
