    Even though audio CDs use the ISO-9660 standard, they aren't really 
mountable (depends on how you look at the problem, i.e. what OS you use, 
and what audio playing app you use).
    Specifying the /dev node or mount point (via the application / 
plugin preferences), without trying to mount the actual disk, will most 
likely yield the results you want.
