Ok.
Except it does not appear in my conf file; I am curious why the software
is trying to use it as a default. And the KDE app has no manual page,
and no obvious way to change the device it looks at. Maybe a symlink
of /dev/cdrom (a la Linux ? I shall try that out later). Also cdplay
does not actually complain about anything, it just does not work until
you specify the correct device with the "-d" option.

Why on earth would any piece of software to play a CD try and use a
default device for a long-defunct piece of hardware ?
