BTW when you have 10x or faster cdrom, you could retry even when
playing the data, no? With big enough buffers, you could go for better
quality than that.
I have usb speakers on my system, so I probably need interface like
that. (Funny thing is that machine with usb speakers has no cdrom, so
I'll need to stream it over esd over ethernet, anyway).
