I am having trouble with playing CDs under FC3 also. When I just insert 
a CD, the CD player window appears, and it correctly identifies the 
album and tracks (hence it's looking at the correct device and has read 
permission), but it won't play anything. It doesn't matter whether I try 
it as root or not. When I try to run cdplay from the command line, 
there's a brief pause, and then I get the command propmt back; nothing 
else happens. cdp, however, works without a problem.
