Are you in the 'cdrom' group?
Two ways to tell if this is the problem:
1. Try playing a cd as root, if this works it is a permission problem
2. Try 'chmod 666 /dev/scd0', and playing a cd. If this works, again
you have a permission problem. (Remember to 'chmod 660 /dev/scd0' after
testing)
If neither works, then you have a different problem.
If either one works, add yourself to the 'cdrom' group, and log out and
back in again.
