You configure XMMS with both so that when you try to play a directory
with it, and you select *that* directory, it uses the device you've
associated with it.  You're stuck with this work-around, since XMMS
doesn't give you a way to specify a device, and we no-longer have a
static CD-ROM mount point in fstab.

Since /media is empty, initially.  You could try what I just did:
Create another directory, somewhere, and specify that in the XMMS
configuration.  This gives you something predictable for you to browse
to, that doesn't go away on you, either.
