Yes, VLC plays from an audio CD without issue, in addition it also
works with Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II demo, which plays cd music
(despite there being no audio cd for the demo).

The data+audio cd as previously used:

mcicda.c:181: Test failed: GETDEVCAPS 4001: MCIERR_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION
mcicda.c:243: Test failed: info 2flags: 0=NOERROR
mcicda.c:307: track #1 length 76134ms
mcicda.c:372: Tests skipped: Got no mixed data+audio CD.
mcicda.c:389: Test failed: PLAY from 1 notify: MCIERR_HARDWARE
mcicda.c:392: Tests skipped: Cannot manage to play track 1.
mcicda: 57 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 3 failures), 2 skipped.

The same audio cd as used previously which has audio only:

mcicda.c:181: Test failed: GETDEVCAPS 4001: MCIERR_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION
mcicda.c:243: Test failed: info 2flags: 0=NOERROR
mcicda.c:307: track #1 length 252067ms
mcicda.c:372: Tests skipped: Got no mixed data+audio CD.
mcicda.c:389: Test failed: PLAY from 1 notify: MCIERR_HARDWARE
mcicda.c:392: Tests skipped: Cannot manage to play track 1.
mcicda: 57 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 3 failures), 2 skipped.

Indeed, the tests don't produce any audio.

This works - I hear music.  After playing the first track to
completion and waiting a minute, it hasn't returned to accepting input
here, so I've ^C.
