I think I will let Albeu fix that since its is code.
I'm just adding cddb. I don't know yet how I will
hook it up, maybe something like cddb:// that will
resolve the tracks titles and then call cdda to play
the track.

Yes I already have it. Actually, it doesn't describe the HTTP protocol. The
document mostly describe TCP. 
The TCP implementation is already in mplayer but since the implementation is
less reliable (for now) than the HTTP one, it will only be used when the
server doesn't provide HTTP support.
