It *IS* the kioslave (I was calling it ioslave earlier, it's kde i/o-
slave, kioslave for sort, IIRC)!

The device shows up, but nothing extra is actually mounted.  I apparently 
don't have whatever kde package includes that full ioslave here, as it 
doesn't actually have any "subdirs" or files, but "volume" does indeed 
show up in dolphin, and clicking on it loads it as "audiocd:" or 
"audiocd:/", which would be that ioslave.

I was almost sure that ioslave had been ported to kde4, but I hadn't seen 
it in action in dolphin or konqueror, so I wasn't sure.  But between the 
upthread and the incomplete version I just saw here, that's gotta be what 
it is, and yes, it's just as I said, and ioslave "virtual" filesystem, 
not actually mounted anywhere and apparently not available outside of 
anything that knows about and can use kde's kioslaves.

Given that, it's likely that a command can be made for dolphin to open at 
the audiocd:/ kioslave location, and that command loaded as an action 
option in the device notifier popup window.  It just doesn't have one by 
default.
