well, i've never tried this (but have used it for other things), but
try mounting it on a loopback device and playing it from that.
example:
# losetup /dev/loop0 cdimage.iso
$ cdplay -d /dev/loop0
....
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
i know this works for programs like dd, but i'm not sure whether or
not it would work for cdplay. lemme know if it works :)
