What are the sound leads for from the back of a DVD drive?

Hi, I have just picked up an oem Audigy 4 card and noticed that there is no socket for CD in lead as on all of the other Creative cards that I have owned. I tried running an Audigy 2 installed in another comp without the sound lead from the DVD drive and it plays the music just fine.
I have always run a lead from the DVD to the sound card, have I been wasting my time for all of these years?
What is the lead for............??

Cheers, PeterT

ShiWarrior, thanks very much for clearing this up. Am I correct in thinking that there is no need for the sound lead at all?
