[I never seen cdparanoia], but:

nice thing with interfaces like this is that they are intuitive.

Can you do

ESPEAKER=Elf splay -d - /mnt/cdrom/*.wav | esdcat

with cdparanoia? Proposed filesystem (better implelmented with nfs
then coda; coda can't do streaming. See my other mail for code) is

*very* nice user interface

can do streaming

Someone even implemented it into kernel, it was called audiofs and did
not work for me.
