A CD-DA player for Toshiba CDRoms that replays via the Amiga audio channels

Version 1.1
-----------

This is an update to V1.0 that has passed through AmiNet recently.

The GUI can now be opened on public screens and when started from a shell.
Fixed enforcer hits in calibration program.
Fixed a small bug in sound driver. Sound driver somewhat enhanced.

Features:

* CLI, Workbench and DeliTracker interface
* previously  unseen  14  bit  quality.
* Does not disturb and is not disturbed by multitasking (HIGHPRI flag)
* Acceptable (not very high) CPU usage with DMA controllers

* FULL SOURCE CODE INCLUDED!

The  CDPlayer  is  built  upon  an  14bit experimental CyberSound low level
driver.   I  am  having  great  plans  for a new sound sub system replacing
audio.device  and  sound.datatypes.   Drivers for toccata, maestro planned.
Concept texts included! Suggestions welcome.
