I'd guess you have the same problem as I do with my iBook; the CD drive
is not physically connected to the sound card, so most sound card apps
won't work.  Try using xmms with the xmms-cdread plugin...gnome-cd
claims to have the cdparanoia patch to work around this applied, but it
doesn't work for me...I'll check the bts and file a bug if no one else
has later.
