Is this a known limitation?

You're still using CDs?! That's soooo 5000BCs...
Kidding aside, no, this was not a known limitation, but it is now. However, I don't know if CD drives would be able to decode audio tracks simultaneously anyway, which is what's required for X-Fade to be able to crossfade playback.
I just had a look at the CDA input plugin and it seems that it should at least
play 1 track at a time. And if an input plugin's transcoder functions cannot provide decoded file audio data then X-Fade
should be failing back to a man-in-the-middle plugin and I'm a bit surprised it's not.
Do me a favor and open X-Fade's configuration window and then click the [Plugins...] button. In the "Input Plugins" dialog window that opens up click the [File] button then select a CDA track from your CD drive. Then copy-paste the results from the big box beneath in your next post.
