What I'd be interested in is whether a "music CD" (perhaps with Sun's
drive) can be indexed and read just like a data CD by the computer.
If you have to switch between "music" node and data mode, this
probably isn't possible.  If it IS possible, a sample-based musical
instrument could "load" sounds directly off CDs without the DAC/ADC
path.
