Well, you can sort-of mount an audio CD using the cdfs (kernel) module.
Imagine being able to rip a CD without using cdparanoia. The module
tends to choke on bad disks however, which can have the unfortunate
consequence of locking your cdrom drive until the next reboot.

Yes. But you can have two entries for /dev/cdrom. You can have fstab
entries like these:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /audiocd cdfs defaults,ro,user,noauto 0
mount /cdrom gives you your data cd; mount /audiocd lets you mount
(courtesy of cdfs) your audio CD.
