If r_buffer is declared in your program (not DOS, not XMS, not RM memory)
then,

r_buffer: PM address = &r_buffer;
r_buffer: RM address: doesn't exist, there are *NO* RM addresses above
1Mb+64k, your code is above 1Mb+64k
r_buffer: linear/physical address
=(ULONG)r_buffer+__djgpp_conventional_base;

Otherwise, if r_buffer is MS-DOS memory, XMS memory, or below 1Mb, then

r_buffer: PM address = (RM segment <<4)+(RM offset) -
__djgpp_conventional_base;
r_buffer: RM address is  RM segment:RM offset
r_buffer: linear/physical address = (RM segment <<4) +(RM offset);

Maybe.  I don't know.  What is r_buffer?  Your code sample doesn't show me
how or where r_buffer is allocated.  If it is declared by the C program, the
addressing is different than if it is allocated through MS-DOS, XMS, etc.

No.  If r_buffer is RM memory, then use different addressing.

Yes.  I think.  Is this what you are doing?

1) allocate XMS
2) set DMA to XMS
3) read CD
4) move DMA data to program

Here's a rough memory map of your computer.  Where is  r_buffer?  Above or
below 1Mb?  In the program or outside the program?
