No, the device uses the CD drive's own digital output, which may be connected to your sound card, or may be connected to a microphone jack on the drive itself (or may be connected to nothing).
I should point out that I consider cdp obselete. I recommend cdplay if you want a command-line tool to control your drive.
If you want to play music using your OSS or ALSA soundcard, then you must digitally extract ("rip") the data from the CD and then play it back. XMMS can do all this in one go, or you can put the pieces together yourself using cdparanoia or gstreamer.

Any interest in resurrecting cdp and getting it back into Linux distros?
I really missed direct-to-soundcard playing upon upgrading from FC3 to Fedora 14, and I'm unaware of any CD player app that has it. The breaks in the sound due to other applications using up CPU was too much. So I managed to compile the source code by changing "getline" to "getline_cdp" to avoid a conflict with a system library function. I also added a "cd_pause" at the start of "cd_play" to get rid of the nasty pop caused by the sudden change in DAC levels.
Gnome developers phased out gnome-cd (which I think utilized cdp). But we could create a GUI skin for cdp. Use a name that is very specific about the "direct-to-soundcard", e.g., cdp-direct. If cdp could be integrated into some other existing GUI CD program, that would be fine. What I'd like out of a GUI isn't too much, except one feature, which is to create and store a list play order so that I can sequence a few albums with different track orders (e.g., move a bonus track into the original album's track sequence).

Oh, BTW. Vectro, what is the advantage of cdplay? I've compiled that as well and it works, but isn't as flexible as cdp. Also, I couldn't find a simple way of reprogramming the code to pause the CD player before changing tracks and stop its loud pop. It too is in a state of obsolescence.

I can't find anything about which device this plays to, is there configuration?
