  I haven't seen a (new) optical drive that supports that in years. They
just don't make them with analog output anymore (as far as I'm aware).
  Haines, your problem with alsaplayer could be because you don't have
analog audio from the drive. How are you trying to play it? Do you use the
CD.cdda URI?
  Another possibility is that the new drive has been assigned a new device
node by udev's persistent CD rules. Check the name of your drive. Try this:

ls -lh /dev/cd*

If /dev/cdrom is not listed in the output, or it is a link to a non-existent
file, then that's no doubt your problem. Try changing the cdda.device
setting in your config file to refer to the correct name of your drive. Or
you could edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to ensure your
drive is given the correct name (and sym-link) when you reboot; but don't
do that if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

  Audio CDs do not mount. They don't have a file system. Some programs lock
the drive, however. The eject command unlocks it before ejecting the disc.
Check your software's documentation.
