a cd :)

No it sounds like you have done everything correctly so I don't know
what could be the cause.

A few more things you could check are the permissions for /dev/cdrom
and where /dev/cdrom is linked to

ls -l /dev/cdrom

it should be linked to /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc.

You could also try using the cvs version of alsaplayer. 

----
su

cd /usr/local/src/music/
cvs 
-d:pserver:anonymous_AT_cvs.alsaplayer.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsaplayer 
login

cvs 
-d:pserver:anonymous_AT_cvs.alsaplayer.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsaplayer 
-z3 co alsaplayer

cd alsaplayer

./bootstrap;./configure;make;make install
----

And if that still doesn't work then you may have exhausted my knowledge 
of getting a cdplayer working through the cdda interface.
