I'll try that.

I get:
$ mplayer cdda:////dev/sr0
MPlayer 1.1-4.7.1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
192 audio & 400 video codecs

Playing cdda:////dev/sr0.
No stream found to handle url cdda:////dev/sr0
Exiting... (End of file)

I'll go review my build dependencies.  I don't have /dev/dsp

OK, It was a thought.  I wasn't sure.

But I should be able to use GStreamer if desired.  I'll continue to
