It might work if you use a SCSI controller and "-device scsi-generic".
At least I could burn CDs a few years ago.

Of course, the audio would come directly out of the computer speakers,
without going through QEMU's backends.

I haven't tested it, nobody has ever asked. I wouldn't reject patches
for such a feature, but I likely wouldn't make reviewing them a priority
either.

I assume this would be primarily for emulating games/etc that use mixed
Data/Audio formats?

That could be one reason to do it. I just thought it would be neat to be able 
to play CDs inside a guest.

Is there any platform where a guest in QEMU can play an audio cd? If not, is 
this a feature that you would allow into QEMU?
