Mplayer doesn't need a dvd symlink. It will look for /dev/dvd by
default, true, but you can specify about anything with '-dvd-device
/dev/whatever'.

Cdparanoia also take a command-line option to a device node ('-d').
Okay, this has nothing to do with udev. But still, at least I always
use the mplayer thing, as I don't care so much about a dvd-symlink, the
cdrom-symlink is fine for my taste.
