I apologize. I posted too hastily. I reviewed some old messages on this list and found the answer to this problem. It has to do with configuring the cd player correctly. The device setting was wrong, it was listed /dev/cdrom. But since CD-RW drives use SCSI emulation, it should be /dev/scd0. I changed the setting, and I am now able to play audio CDs. Sorry everyone.
