I am not Sebastien, but lets see :)
$ gst-inspect | grep cdda
cdparanoia:  cdparanoiasrc: CD Audio (cdda) Source, Paranoia IV
cdio:  cdiocddasrc: CD audio source (CDDA)

These are the unix plugins we have.
$ gst-inspect cdio
tells us that this has cdiocddasrc and
$ gst-inspect cdiocddasrc
tells us that it inherits from a GstCddaBaseSrc. So it you know what  
library one uses to read cdda stuff on windows, I woul suggest to make  
a copy of that cdio plugin and replace those unix specify calls with  
the windows api.
