It probably supports an rc file (~/.cdplayrc or similar) where you can specify a default CD device. Most CD players I've tried have, if you have no device entry in the rc file or don't use ``-d'', a hard-coded default that seems to always use Linux device names. The KDE CD player had /dev/matcd0 as the hard-coded default - the proprietry Matsushita/Panasonic device - how many people still have those!
