[quake2] CD Music

At least in windows, you can go to the Device Manager and in the Drive 
properties disable the DAE (Digital Audio Extraction), if the cable 
isn't installed, you won't get any sound either from a CD playing on the 
drive.

And it's true, in XMMS there is a plugin to use DAE and it's enabled by 
default. If that cable isn't present, for instance if you use Gnome CD 
Player, you won't get any sound playback.
