i have had lots of trouble doing just this. playing a simple cd for
example tho i suspect this is because it isnt mounted.

if insert a music cd the cd player comes up(gnome/multimedia). it knows
the cd name the tracks even but it just sits there. hitting play gets me
no where. I tested this with headphones in the cdrom jack and there is
no audio. the cd light flickers but no audio.
ahh if i put the cd in the cd burner i can hear it.
ok..
cdplay -d /dev/hdb plays the top cd
cdplay -d /dev/hdd plays the bottom (burner cd)
at the same time even ;)
however just cdplay which defualts to /dev/cdrom gives error
mark at saturnlx:~$ cdplay
cdplay: can't open cdrom (/dev/cdrom)
cdplay: CD status is no_disc
something is screwy with my mount points and things
i looked and couldnt find/media/cdrom for example but there is a /cdrom
ill have a play and see if i cant sort this out first.
I found some tutorials on fstab and mount ill see if they refresh my memory
