There's no data going through the computer buss at all, and consequently, no software can process that data. (in fact, its not data at all, but a pure line-level audio signal just like what would flow between a cassette deck and amplifier.)

My CD has no audio cable going to sound card,because I prefer the sound card to do the D/A convertion instead of CD.The music is going through the IDE cable,as data.That's the whole point of a problem.
