Again, the cda files have nothing to do with how audio is
recorded. Their appearance on Windows machines is a function of
Windows virtual filesystem support (yes, Windows has that).
Actually playing audio files depends upon support from the CD-ROM
drive itself. The cda file is just an info file carrying content
to the effect of "this is supposed to be track X on this CD".
That is all. A program that can reads the cda file is expected to
know how to talk to the CD drive and switch to that track. .cda's
are only used for creating playlists, nothing else.
You may be able to read Windows cda files from Linux, but does
reading them cause the CD to start playing?
