CDXA is a suite of tools demonstrates the capability to play Playstation CDROM XA Audio tracks in Linux. It was started based on some dos code from the hitmen. This is the most complete version, but file selection in the GUI is quite raw. Still it has the most features right now. It includes XA File mapping and compressed storage routines for the maps, it also has an ossilliscope (but it's ahead of the actual buffer being played!) The map is fully interactive with the mouse. The Frequency buttons do nothing now, though, since I've found there's information in every frame of audio that tells me the desired playback frequency.
The reason for the color blending is that multiple frames fit in one pixel width at times...so Red And Blue make Magenta. The Save buttons are not functional. To change CDROMs exit the application...otherwise nothing may happen if you press eject! If you do Eject and insert a new CDROM, hit Load CDROM again for the disk change to take effect. No mounting is used nor needed by this program.
To open a file for work press Load CDROM, then you can hit Open File anytime after that. Sometimes you can get out of the fileselector by trying to close the window! /dev/cdrom is the device used, and is not changable without changing the C Code and compiling right now. The Name buttons do nothing. If CPU Time is your concern, turn off the ossilliscope! The '' around the Map will find index marks for you, but they don't skip over them when playing and trying to go backwards!
