Actually, no. You'd use it with the cdda:// option, not "play file."  
Linux doesn't create fake files (each track is a file) in a fake  
filesystem. So, unless you ripped the CD, using the "play file"  
options wouldn't work.

Also, I don't know of a single Linux distro that mounts CDs in your  
home directory. Only a few do auto-mount by default (Mandrake did,  
Mandriva probably does, Ubuntu does as well), and usually they mount  
to /media, others mount to /mnt.

I think CD playing is b0rk'd in Windows, though.
