Hello,
I've never tried this under YDL and don't have my CD player around to slip into the media bay for testing, but under Linux/PPC, playing audio CDs worked on my Powerbook G3 Firewire (Pismo) with the following command:
cdparanoia 1- -Z - | play -t wav - <--- don't forget the "-" at the end!
Since it was cumbersome to type, I set up an alias like this in my .bashrc (assuming you run bash as your default shell):
alias gocd='cdparanoia 1- -Z - | play -t wav -'
I hope that works for you. The lack of track selection isn't too good, but it was the best solution I had found when I looked almost a year ago.
-Neill.
