Its just the mac, dude... there are audio drivers for amiga and atari, and I
think q40 as well.
To "you", just use the debian tools to find it:
wajig search cdplay
cdtool - some text-based commands for managing a CD
wmcdplay - A CD player based on ascd designed for WindowMaker
gstreamer-misc - Collection of various GStreamer plugins
libwings-dev - Window Maker's own widget set
Also try:
wajig search player | grep cd
wajig detail cdtool

Description: some text-based commands for managing a CD
cdtool contains cdplay, cdeject, cdstop, cdpause, and several other
utilities that let you control your CD-ROM drive from a command
line. Also, it comes with cdir, a utility that uses a workman-style
database to keep track of the contents of different CDs. It now
includes a commandline utility for controlling a CD-ROM called cdctrl.
Not sure if that actually outputs to the sound hardware or just to the
CD-Rom headphones, and which of those you want. If you want to use your
Amiga speakers, I think you have to use grip or xmms.
