[quake2] CD Music

[Brendan Burns]

I think this might have something to do with the way that Linux is
playing the CDs vs. the way windows is playing the CDs.  I think Linux
just tells the CD player to play (using the CD player hardware).
Perhaps windows is actually using a software player to read the audio
off the disc and play it over the speakers?

I know that there is a plugin for xmms that does this, but that code
would be needed to be integrated into the CD playing code...
