[PLUG] Audio Dilemma

Howdy!

I have some audio cd's I want to listen to, and the system with the CD
drive doesn't have an audio card. Well, I've installed several cards,
but finding PCI audio these days that Linux can talk to is
challenging. Another system has a very nice ISA audio card that linux
talks to just fine, but there is no internal CD there. I can nsf mount
the CD to that box, but have not had good luck getting audio CD's to
play direct from the CD player to the sound card when they aren't in
the same physical box. I guess I could manufacture a really long audio
cable......    I could move the CD, but that would cause performance
problems with the drives; and yet another SCSI cabling nightmare.

So, I think a good solution would be to get the audio on the CD
converted to some handy file format that could be played on the system
that has the sound card. And what I don't know is what program to use
to extract the signal from the CD into a ?wav? file, or whatever is
appropriate (what _is_ appropriate); and then what program will play
that file.

Anybody have any really good (and relatively easy) suggestions?

(Please, no debian/apt-get solutions!)

I'm running rh7.2 with the TWM desktop. I launch all my window apps
from a console window command line; and I _like_ it that way!
