The problem was the missing gtreamer-plugins-cdparanoia.
But that leads me to another question.

The gnome-faq mentions that the kernel needs atapicam loaded.
Is that information outdated for FreeBSD-6.1p5 ? Since I've
been now successfully using a renamed GENERIC kernel, which
doesn't have the line 'device atapicam' neither in its config, nor
in NOTES. I've seen that atapicam is build as a module, though,
but playing works fine without 'kldload atapicam'.
(Or is it loaded automagically ?)

The other question is: How are the official binary-buils configured ?
Can I assume that the config template defaults are used ?
(Which I think could have saved me from my trouble, since libcdio
would have been build without cdparanoia)

The last question:
Since no one answered to my first mail; was it the wrong list ?
Does smth. like this goes into freebsd-questions ?
If so, sorry folks ! That'll never happen again ;)

thx
