[TriLUG] Playing CD's without an audio cable?

[Andrew Perrin]

My new office computer (an IBM ThinkCentre 8212-UN7) has a CD-ROM drive, 
but no audio cable comes out the back of it, and there's no place on the 
motherboard to plug one into it.  Predictably enough, when I bring up a cd 
player (e.g., xmcd), I get no audio output, but cdda2wav produces a 
perfectly fine audio file.

Is there some new standard for CD playing that doesn't require this cable? 
Is there some new software I should be using?
