I don't know what options you are looking for. All I am doing is trying
to play the CD.
In the multimedia gui I use the following:
grip %d
gnome-cd  --unique --play --device %d

Only the first works but both address /dev/sr0 as the incarnation of %d

There is something really wrong with sound in f8 at least on my
hardware.
