The problem is where to connect it. There's no way to plug it in to the
built-in audio. One alternative might be to use an EISA or ISA soundcard
that has the right connector for a cdrom cable, but I'm not sure if
anyone's tried that yet. If anyone does, please post notes to the list.

If you want to listen to audio cd's you could just plug directly into the
cdrom output and then control the drive via scsi. That's what I used to
do with hpux and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. But then
you don't get the mixing with other sources that the sound card provides.
