This is because you need the snd_mixer_oss loaded.

In you /etc/fstab you should have:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0
Try changing the "udf,iso9660" to "auto"
I have:
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto noauto,ro,nosuid 0 0
The ro is important for a DVD, noauto stops the drive being mounted at boot.
In local_conf.py keep
ROM_DRIVES_AUTOFS = False
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/hdc', 'DVD') ]
With freevo not running and a DVD in the drive try:
ls /mnt/dvd
should show nothing
mount /mnt/dvd
should show AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS
umount /mnt/dvd
eject /mnt/dvd
Then start freevo and see what happens.
