                Weirdeomat does NOT play any soundfiles. Use an
                audio software or your hi-fi equipment.
                Ok, if you really want music from Weirdeomat start
                weirdeomat with option "-audio" and insert a audio 
                cd in your 'standard' cdrom device.
