Remarks

See FSOUND_CD_SetPlayMode for information on how to control playback of a CD track.
FSOUND's CD Playback system, is a non intrusive, non polling system. This may not mean
much to a lot of people, but a polling player (take the windows default CD player) will
consistantly poll the CD device to update its status, which causes other applications
to jerk, or pause consistantly. This would be inexcusable in a game, to have the game
halt or jerk every second to few seconds or so. FSOUND uses timing and prediction to
loop tracks and update the status of the CD, and never touches the CD device during
playback, for TRUE 0Ppu usage.
