fwir, xmms cvs before the 1.0.1 release had that plugin, but it disappeared
for the 1.0.1 release, and hasn't re-returned. Several freshmeat searches
have proved fruitless, so I don't think it's been separated into an external
archive. Probably worth working backwards through the xmms cvs.
On my iBook I use "cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -N -e".
