I'm also using this setup for many years now.

Does this refer to an audio CD? In that case: Won't work.

Mounting a data CD (ISO-9660 filesystem) _should_ work. From the
error message, I don't think you have permission problems, but make
sure that - as you're using ATAPICAM - have sufficient permissions
for /dev/cd*, /dev/xpt* and /dev/pass*.

Have you tried mounting using the ATAPI driver?

        # mount -o ro -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt

Does this work for data CDs?

Okay, seems that you're accessing the audio CD by mplayer, I now
understand. You can specify -dvd-device <dev> as a command line
parameter for mplayer to indicate which drive to use. Oh, and
many programs use $CDROM and $CDPLAYER environment variables.

To make sure there are no other problems, try with ATAPI, too,
as shown above.
