Actually on the G4, there is no audio cable. It's pulling
the CD audio via the IDE bus ala DMA.
The drive supports audio out analog, however the G4
motherboard does not =)
I'm not sure which standard we're using for the audio
but some PC's are starting to do that too, so I imagine
it's a fairly common one.
