Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think xmcd uses the CD-ROM audio 
outputs.  ie. There's a cable from the back of the CD-ROM to the 
sound card.  My CD-ROM & CD-RW are external and don't have such a 
cable.  I found a plug-in for Winamp that takes the signal digitally, 
and was hoping for something similar.

Looks like cdparanoia & audioplay are the clues.

I had an early Sony Discman with the line out to the stereo, but when 
one of my kids moved she 'borrowed' it.

This could be an interesting project.
