The fact is that the CD control doesn't work now. And I didn't manage to 
find a way to make any control in the test model influence CD playback 
volume. Why would you want a non-working control to stay?

I actually wanted to test everything on Windows, and was going to 
install it to my linux swap partition temporarily, but I only had an XP 
compact disc and it said the partition is too small by.... err.... 14 
megabytes... :D, so I didn't install it there.

I thought we've agreed it's impractical to play CD's at 1x speed on a 
notebook, so I don't see a problem at all. However, if somebody would 
test the CD playback in windows with appropriate software on such 
notebook, it would be nice.
