Hi Erik
I am trying your latest build in the moment. The output of the Track 
numbers is ok with the mplayer parameters.
mplayer cdda://x -cdrom-device j: -cdda speed=3
(x is any track number on the audio-cd)

As I have some stuttering in audio-playback , I wanted to try caching 
some audio data. It failed to improve for the
-cache 100
but even worse, the track output gets messed up, too:

mplayer cdda://5 -cdrom-device j: -cdda speed=3 -cache 100


Playing cdda://5.
Found Audio CD with 15 tracks
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)
Track 5

Track 4

How to get rid of stuttering? More cache? Faster CDRom speed?

And is it possible to slow down  the update rate of the playback 
statistics, or make it at least run smoothly.
( playback statistics -> A:  11.1 (11.1) of 0.0 (unknown) 35.9% 6%)

On my System, (PIII Katmai, Intel BX440 Chipset) the update of the 
playbac statistic sometimes flickers, stutters (pauses for some 
milliseconds) and inbetween the small pauses runs like mad.

Thanks for your hard work to bring CDRom support to win32 port of mplayer.
