I think default input buffer size (8 sectors) of CDDA is too small, because there are 75 sectors (frames) data in 1 second, it need almost 10 times to read 1 second data. But when I using windows media player, the lamp flashes only 1 or 2 times.
Full Version: buffer size of CDDA input
When I playing CD audio, the lamp of the CDROM flashes very fast.

Maybe any of these settings could be of interest? Or maybe not....
Flashing of a lamp doesn't mean anything except that something, anything is going on in the drive. For example my DVD writer flashes it 2 times a second no matter if it reads, writes, ejects, or inserts the disc. It's just an indicator and it's up to firmware's programmer imagination how & when he/she makes it lit. The difference between flashing while playing in fb2k & WMP is probably because fb2k extracts audio from the disc in data mode, and WMP simply launches the playback in CDDA mode (or vice-versa), and your drive indicates these 2 different read/playback modes by different flashing. If things sound fine then there's nothing to worry about.
