Hello to both of you- Do you have an internal connection from your CDplayer to your soundcard (slim grey cable)? If not, you need an app that can read/play over the IDE bus. Alsaplayer can do this (though it fails to see individual tracks on my machine...???), and cdda2wav will too from the command line.
cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -t 1 -eN ...should play track 1 from the first cdrom. But xmms might be the best option, with one adjustment. You have to remove the existing "CD Audio Player" plugin (in preferences), and add one called "cdread" which you can get it here: ftp://mud.stack.nl/pub/OuterSpace/willem Once you install and enable this plugin, Xmms will load and play tracks very nicely, including CDDA support.
