Yep, they can. The burnt cd now mounts (mounts as Audio Disc -
cdda://sr0/) - I just have to wait for about 2 minutes. Can see all the
tracks in nautilus & rythmbox (wav files, file size matches exactly,
visualization works, track titles are there, etc) can even "play" them,
but alas no sound when I play a track - even in Windows[1]. Odd.

Given that, and to be fair, I burned another using brasero from the
Applications menu.

Create a new project:
  Disc copy
   Create 1:1 copy of a CD/DVD

Properties
Burning speed: Max Speed
Options: Use burnproof (decrease the risk of failures
         Eject after burning
Copy
Average drive speed: 3417KiB/s (19.8 x)

Same results. Interesting as the info on "Create 1:1 copy of a CD/DVD"
states that it is for both audio & data.

So this time I try: Audio Project
And then try using the ~/.gvfs cdda://sr1/ Track 1.wav etc files & get
the same error as Graham in his original post: "Track 1.wav could not be
handled by GStreamer. Make sure the appropriate codec is installed"

So rather than burn another AOL coaster, I switched to the old &
faithful standby: K3b. Click CD Copy:
Source Medium: Audio CD
Burn Medium: Empty CD-R medium - Speed: Auto
Copy Mode: Normal Copy
Writing mode: Auto
Settings: Create image, Remove image
Start
Error: the audio cd was being used by gvfs so, let K3b kill that process
& off it goes...

CD mounts & plays just fine (with sound :-) in both linux & Windows.

Eventually I'll get around to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero

[1] I was wrong when I said the CD played fine in Windows in my earlier
post; it was on my test machine with no speakers attached... I had
assumed since it came up, played w/visuals etc., that it was working.
Finally tested with headphones & like in rythmbox, no sound.
