Interestingly BeOS and Haiku lets you to mount an audio cd, it generates a vfs from the toc and shows the tracks as wav or flac (fixme), it does an automatic conversion behind the courtains if you copy a file from an audio cd.
To each their own, I guess, but I don't consider this a good idea. To me, that sounds like a lot of unneeded magic going on at the kernel level that should be a non-root, application thing. The few times I want to directly see the data on a CD, I'm generally digitizing the contents of the CD, and running an application to do that is just fine with me. OpenBSD provides cdio(1), which has the "cdrip" option to extract audio tracks to .wav files. In the base system. Nick.
