I let this sit for a week or so, and revisited it today. I noted that there is now a HAL FAQ, which I followed to the letter. I *think* I am still having a few issues with automounting.

When an audio CD is inserted, I hear the usual CD noise, followed by a message that the "Location is not mountable" and no CD appears on the desktop as it did earlier.

However, if I invoke gnome-cd, and even force the device to /cdrom (which is a link to /dev/cd0 -- the one that uses atapicam) it plays properly. The program also ejects the CD properly.

On the other hand, putting in a blank CD it does cause it to appear on the desktop with no error message, and I can burn just fine with Nautilus.

So something is still seems not quite right. Particulars: 6.3-R-p1, Gnome 2.22 with all updates as of yesterday (including all the recent changes to hal, dbus, xorg-server abd so forth), and using moused (works fine). lshal for that drive looks OK (listed below) as does ck-list-sessions, where "active = TRUE" shows up like it should.

Is this how it should be? It seems there are still some minor issues with mounting audio CDs.
