You need a mixer of some type to have the sound out plug on the CD drive to plug into. I'm not sure if you can do that on an a1200. I know the A4000 has an audio in plug on the motherboard. I did see some mixer board hacks on Aminet. Another thing you can do if your CD drive had a headphone jack on its fron is plug in a cable to that and mod the end to connect it to the same source your A1200 audio out os going to. Its a mess that way, and hard to balance the sound, but it works. A mixer is the best choice.
