Short answer; you don't need a directory, all you need to do
is enter /dev/cdrom in the open files dialog (or whatever
the appropriate device is).  Removable media now gets
mounted under /media with a name derived from the media
title, which seems a bit awkward, however CDAudio doesn't
get mounted anyway, so there's no meaning to a
corresponding mount point.
