You don't have to mount audio CDs -- they contain only the most rudimentary 
"filesystem" anyway  {no names, only numbers, and every "file" [=song] must 
be in contiguous sectors}.  Just run any player or ripper application with 
the disc in the drive, and it will find it.

There *are* plugins that will allow you to mount a CD as a filesystem and see 
the audio tracks as raw PCM, wave, mp3 and ogg vorbis files  {maybe others if 
you have the required codecs}.  KDE has one  {type "audiocd:/" in konqueror's 
address bar with a music album in the drive}  so I'd lay money that Gnome has 
something like it too.
