Coplan,
I got stuck with the same problem and received the following advise from
Aaron:
do a chmod 777 /dev/cdrom and chmod 777 /dev/dsp as root this will give
you permission to use the cdrom to play cds. If this does not work just
let me know i will look at what else i might have done to get this to
work.
