Well then, no, you haven't really demonstrated much at all. Typically, playing music CDs is negotiated directly between the CDROM drive and your soundcard. There's no intermediation of the kernel, filesystems, or even your sound configuration involved (though some systems require a working sound config to *start* playing a music CD, you're not actually going through the sound devices to play it).
You'll have to report back with a data CD how you mounted it or what failed to work. Data and music disks (Sounds of Slashdot excepted) are two different animals.
