Hmm... if the user needs to do this to play the CD tracks, what is the
"CD player (CDDA)" menu option supposed to do?
From what little I know of the needed programming, it seems to me that
a simple shell script could be set to run when a CD is inserted (using
whatever mechanism pops the default CD player up now) that would do
those steps you mention. But it seems outside my programming chops.
