It seems you are absolutely correct about using cdplay. It's better to concentrate on the initial source of the problem rather than use XMMS and see if that's the problem. Anyhow, I installed the cdtool package as you said and tried cdplay. Originally, I had more error than what I'm about to show you but I took care of that error by adding myself to the group cdrom.
Here is the error now:
========================================
bash$ cdplay
cdplay: can't open cdrom (/dev/cdrom)
cdplay: error opening /dev/cdrom
/dev/cdrom is owned by group "disk"
Try , as root: chgrp --dereference cdrom /dev/cdrom
cdplay: CD Status is no_disc
========================================
Here is what my directories and files look like:
=======================================
bash$ ls -l / | grep cdrom$
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Dec 2 13:07 cdrom
bash$ ls -l /dev | grep hdc$
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 2 13:07 cdrom -> hdc
brw--rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 14 2002 hdc
============================================
I actually was listed in group disk but realized the danger of that. What should I do now?

Ok good.

Next step. As so many other posters have already stated, for now
forget about xmms, forget about konqueror or whatever gui. You need to
simplify the situation to work out where there problem is. For now use
a command line cd player. One that springs to mind is cdplay from the
cdtool package. Put in a cd and type cdplay on the command line. Then
tell us what happens.
Nick.
