Under these conditions, I can mount the CDROM from the command line. However, the CDROM fails to mount using the KDE desktop, whether through the desktop icon or through konqueror. After an attempt, ps auxwww returns the following:
[malk@bruhaha ~]$ ps auxwww | grep cd
malk 6270 1.4 2.7 30768 14308 ? S 22:20 0:00 kdeinit: kio_audiocd audiocd /tmp/ksocket-malk/klauncherVB2s5b.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-malk/konquerorvnywGa.slave-socket
If I kill the process and run mount from the command line, once more the mount command succeeds. KDE never succeeds.
Regards,
Malcolm.

Usually this is because KDE autostarts kscd, the KDE CD player app, at login. You'll find it somewhere on your panel, and you can turn it off permanently in ~/.KDE/Autostart/, or something like that (not running KDE right now so I can't check easily).
