How does one cause an audio cd to play in a cd-rom.
I have a couple of binaries which do this but I would like to 'design'
my own user interface.

Can this be done with interrupts, do I have to go out on the scsi bus
and give the drive commands or can the mscdex util be accessed to
perform this function. I would like to be able to choose tracks, skip
forward and back, etc...

Thanks for any help.
