It's a share you can mount wherever you want into the client machine, 
i.e., under "/mnt/cdrom" and then point the "cdda2wav" utility to grab 
content from that source.

The only trouble you can encounter is the program does not like it, but 
that's all. In that event it just will fail with some error.

The host machine (remote CD-R) has to have a CD-ROM reader, at least X-)

So, why not extract the audio in that same computer? Then you can share 
the extracted content over the network, as usual...

Or you can buy an external 5¼ enclosure and put there a dvd (both items 
are nowadays very cheap) ;-)
