I have been working on getting a cdrw to work and in the process, one ot the
things I read was that if you have a cdrom set for supermount then in order
to play audio you have to do umount from root, this is from memory, but I'm
pretty confident of this piece of info, when you want it to go back to normal
data operation then you can give it the mount command. Futher searching may
find a way to fix this so you don't have to go back and forth to a command
line (unless you prefer it that way).
