One doesn't typically mount an audio CD. Audio CD's are handled
differently than a data CD is. It is possible to mount the hybrid
audio/data CD's, which this appears to not be. If you want work with
audio CD's look at the various programs contained in the "Sound &
Video" menu. There are a number of things you can do from ripping
them to the local disk, and playing them (note as well that the audio
for an audio CD will probably go directly from the drive itself to the
sound card, so if you're missing the audio cable from your CD drive to
the sound card, you won't hear the audio).
