	Hmm I wonder if that works at all these days. What it used to do
last time I used it (some decades ago) was start the CD playing with the
audio going out via a connector on the drive itself. Common practice was to
connect this to an input on the sound card which usually showed up as 'CD'
in mixer so to hear anything you had turn up the CD input with mixer.

	It is very possible that the drive is not wired to play audio CDs.
