Check the manpage for cdplay as well. It probably supports an rc
file (~/.cdplayrc or similar) where you can specify a default CD
device. Most CD players I've tried have, if you have no device
entry in the rc file or don't use ``-d'', a hard-coded default that
seems to always use Linux device names. The KDE CD player had
/dev/matcd0 as the hard-coded default - the proprietry Matsushita/Panasonic
device - how many people still have those! (the fastest ones they
made were 4x).
