Yes, it does.

Hmm. I was told there were two option: an XMMS plugin and ALSA. From
what I could tell, the XMMS plugin didn't work (though it's quite
possible that I missed something there), so I tried ALSA. I'll use
whatever works.

Grip rips successfully into a WAV file that XMMS can play.

... and we're back to the initial problem: Grip (or other programs)
can not play audio directly from a CD through the USB-audio interface.
