An audio CD can be read using an analog cable between CDROM and
soundcard with the drive doing the digital->analog conversion. This
cable is often not installed on new systems. Totem uses the IDE cable
to transfer digital audio data to the system. Laptops often must use
the 'totem system'.

aplay?" ;-)
