I posted the above in Jun. Thanks to the people who responded. Especially joss.
What I had been missing was scsi emulation in my kernel. No where had I read that cd audio would not work (on pismo) without scsi emulation. I will repeat. CDAUDIO WILL NOT WORK WITH IDE DRIVE (IDE-CD). IT WILL ONLY WORK WITH SCSI EMULATION (IDE-SCSI) KERNEL. At this writing the only player that will work ( use the digital output of the cd-dvd drive) is XMMS. XMMS has a plugin called xmms-cdread. Enabling xmms-cdread and configuring>output tab for "read digital output" and config>option tab for cd device path for scsi drive (example:/dev/sr0) is essential for cd audio. A fstab type mount path for device and directory is not nessary since xmms displays tracks in its play list.
The sound output (of sound card) is a different issue. If one can play a wav file on ones hard drive with xmms then the output sound is configured correctly.
