Hi Ed,
OK kscd does need the cable however, Amarok, smplayer, vlc don't. I think anything that can use advanced audio setting or software like pulseaudio will play without the cable.
I hope this helps,

In the kscd setting, there is the option Use direct digital playback, which can be used to control whether the device will be used as a player => requires either a audio cable connection or the use of audio output directly on the device, or whether it will be "played digitally" => grabbed and played like other sounds on a sound card.
Cheers
