I think, first, that it's worth asking if anyone else is using a combined cdrw and dvd? Assuming that we can rule out hardware, then I would settle for one app and try to get that sorted. For instance, remove xine (urpme xine, or from mcc > software removal) and reinstall it, using a clean set of plf files. Be careful not to mix release numbers or sources unless urpmi specifically asks for it. Certainly I can view dvds from xine, on a stock 9.1, with my drive not scsi-emulated, and plf files.
