So it turns out that this is a bug in kscd. Because NewWorld Macs don't have a wire going from the CD drive to the sound card, the system has to push the sound to the card itself. It seems that only xmms has a plugin to do this. Most other programs (including kscd) just start the CD drive and expect the audio to just end up at the soundcard.
There's already a wishlist bug against it in KDE. I added one in Debian as well.
