There are no *.wav files on a music CD. This must be some
kind of representation known from "Windows" land where files (!)
are displayed that do NOT exist. And *.wav is especially
wrong as a WAV file would contain a header and data, while
a CD audio track is DATA ONLY (in a strictly defined
format). Seems that Gnome "inherited" that nonsense...

What if you use Gnome's CD playing application, or something
like XMMS with the CD audio plugin? I think your permissions
are okay so you could make the drive play from your (non-root)
user account.
