I assume you are able to mount a data CD but not able to play your audio
CDs ? 

If so, I had the same problem. 

FC3 has a bug in the installation which makes the permissions of your CD
drive as 640. Change the permissions to 644 and your audio cds will
start playing. E.g. on my machine the CDROM drive is /dev/hdc ( use the
hardware browser to find out if you dont know)

$chmod 664 /dev/hdc

Working on the video part though. I have the same problem. Can't watch
Star Wars DVDs.. sigh ! :(

vibhu..
