Audio from DVDs always played by software after reading if from the disk 
as usual data. Audio CDs instead could be played either by the CD drive 
itself via analog audio connection or by software using digital audio 
extraction (reading from the disk).

I think no. Windows Media Player is able to play Audio CDs via digital 
audio extraction. 'cdcontrol play' just commands drive to play Audio CD. 
To play Audio CD via digital audio extraction use 'mplayer cdda://'.

Read man snd_hda, try, try, try, ... But most likely it is just not 
implemented in hardware.
