Indeed they dont, however a lot of "vintage" drives like an old Mitsumi
single speed (MCD) plays them as soon as they are placed into the tray.
Other "old vintage" models which use an interface card like the MCD, have a
mini jack plug in the interface card for headphones, creating the impression
that they cant play audio cd's at all, unless you have seen the plug at the
back of the computer.

Agreed, but the "normal computer user" has a cdrom made in and for "modern
times" which have a press button for playing cd's, that being the reason i
answered the origanal question the way i did.
If the origanal poster had given more details on what type of hardware he is
trying to use, (he did say "ide") then the answer "could" have been more
informative.
The one thing you seemed to have missed in the origanal post was that the
cdrom "does" play audio under a win/lose enviroment.
