Another Monkey

Over the w/end I decided to try KDE. Quite nice.
One problem I have is that CDs do not get automatically mount to "/mnt/cdrom" (or some other sensible location). When I insert the disc, I get the device notification but there is no "Mount" option. I don't even want to click on that, I want it to automount.
Dolphin seems to be using some rather odd path ("audiocd:/?device=/dev/sr0") under "Devices" for a CD. When I try to play the CD, I can see KDE copy from "audiocd:/?device=/dev/sr0" to a temp location before attempting to play anything (I then get a notification for each track that the copy worked, which is annoying).
How do I tell KDE to just mount the disc and be done with it? I've gone into "K/System Settings/Removable Media" and enabled "automount" (location: "/dev/cdrom") and with only the last option ticked as that seemed to be the sensible one. That had no effect. I even ticked "automount" for the specific CD; no effect.
I check in "Device Notifier" as well, the settings are the same.
I know how to do it from the CLI, but it would be nice if the DE just automounted the disc and save me opening a terminal every time.
There are no exception message or other problems I can see, the drive is fine as CDs etc automount perfectly well in other DEs (eg. Cinnamon and Unity).
I am using kubuntu-desktop (KDE 4.9) installed on Ubuntu 12.10.
