QEMU does not currently support reading raw CD tracks, but it is definitely possible to add it (along with play audio features and even CD recording). Note that there is already an emulation for reading raw CD tracks because it is needed to boot Darwin on CDROM, but it only works on the data tracks of the CDROM. Fabrice.
