FAQ alert!  :-)

I have an associate who purchased a (MediaVision?) FUSION 16 MM bundle.  
He's having lots of problems getting this bundle to work on his 386-AT.
On top of this, he found out that he can't listen to audio CD's in the 
Sony CD-drive without additional software (he's running under MS-DOS 5.0,
not Windows 3.1).  

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of public domain, shareware, or
commercial software that will allow his CD drive to play audio CD's as a 
background task, when he isn't using the drive for data CD's.  It is okay
if the audio is only available through the earphone jack.

Email would be appreciated, I'll post a summary of the replies if there is
enough interest.

Thanks,
