This turned up just as I hit 'send' on my last one...

I was wrong; it's not audio, it's a VideoCD. Best way to play 'em is to 
stick 'em in your DVD player.

Failing that, try 'mplayer vcd://'.

Well, you can't mount it without some virtual CD hardware to extract the 
user data from the disk image. However, xine has said virtual CD 
hardware, and IIRC you can just say 'xine diskimage.bin' and it'll work. 
Sorry, I forgot about this before.
