Sorry I can't help with the details you are looking for, but I was just out
at the local Sun office last week and they have an (as yet unreleased?) CD
ROM player that does both.  It also has an output jack for speakers, which
the guys had hooked up to some Sony bookshelf speakers.  So, while we were
running through a graphics application, we were listening to "Abbey Road" --
CD quality.  So, its not "impossible".
