Yeah, native cdda support (via libcdio) was disabled, but you can still play CDs
by using libavdevice. Something like:

    mpv av://libcdio:/dev/cdrom

However this is not very user-friendly I guess, and it'd be nice if mpv
automaticcaly translated all the cdda:// URLs and --cdrom-device/--cdda-*
options to libavdevice automatically, so I opened [0] upstream.

That's actually normal because --cdrom-device is only available when cdda
support is enabled.

Anyway, I'll probably re-enable the native cdda support for the time being.
