Audio CDs shouldn't be mounted... If you try and do that you will most 
likely encounter issues with reading the CD. All that you would have to 
do most likely is change the permissions for the device to allow full 
read access to you on a user or group level (ie 0666, 0660 or 
equivalent). Modifying /etc/devfsd.conf to your liking is the best way 
to go to retain changes across boots.
