I think it may be specific to your system/CDROM drive.  The plugin is
very simple - it passes the parameter (in this case -t 4 ) directly to
cdda2wav and it tries to retrieve the audio from that track.

This plugin is a hack and there are a number of things that can go
wrong - such as.
1. cdda2wav was not intended to do realtime playing so perhaps
something with you system/drive is making it buffer data and it stalls.

2. cdd2wav is "upsetting" your drive.
3. SC timeouts waiting for data from cdda2wav.

I suspect the CDROM drive buffering is kicking in and that the drive is
spinning up for a big buffer read and SC timeouts.

To SC the "cdplay:" device looks like a radio station URL so perhaps
increasing Radio Station timeout (see Settings/Advanced/Network ) might
help. 

With one DVDROM drive I found cdda2wav could only play one track. To
play another track  I had to re-read the CD's Table of Contents. When I
updated the DVDROM drive firmware - evrthing was OK. So cdda2wav/CD
driver can upset some drive hardware in unexpected ways. 

You could use cdd2wav to rip a track4 to a file and then play track 4
to verify.  If that worked then you know the issue is probably
buffering/timeouts - a log with player.source set to INFO might show
somehting.
