hi colleen,

that is not how it works, those are two very different methods of
playing audio. if the cable between the cdrom and the soundcard is
connected, you can play CDs directly from the drive with minimum
software interaction or "tell the cdrom to play the cd on the
soundcard". that has nothing to do with playing ogg from HD, the data
takes a totally different path.

i do not know if kscd does that, but as joost pointed out that would be
a good explanation why you can play CDs in kaffeine but not in kscd. 
check for the cable.
