It uses libcdda to figure out if a cd is an audio cd.  It treats them
differently.

It does use a configure check:

AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_CDDA, false)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(cdda_interface.h cdda_paranoia.h, [
        CDDA_LIBS="-lcdda_paranoia -lcdda_interface"
        AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_CDDA, true)
        ])

It means "volume" as in "mounted volume" - a mounted partition, floppy,
cd, etc.

That's good to know.
