no, he is not.
You don't need the audio-cable to hear music from a cd - just the right
application ;)
like:
kscd
amarok
Oh yeah, you really don`t need the cable, it just makes things easier,
because it will work with all applications, won`t send data using the
system bus neither process it using the CPU, the CD drive will do all
the work and send output directly to the soundcard, the volume manager
of the soundcard with the "CD audio" label will work and some other
benefits.
But that`s just me. I want my hardware to do the stuff it should.
