Executor doesn't do the type of device access that is necessary to
play audio CDs.  Executor knows how to read data off of data CD-ROMs
(2048 byte sectors), but it doesn't know how to tell arbitrary CD-ROM
players to play audio music.  It's one device with two distinctly
different command sets.

Network and serial support is a much higher priority than the ability
to play CD-ROMs.
