I've never used xplaycd myself, but I have played CD's, so here are my
ideas:
1. On my system, (Debian 1.3) there's no /dev/cdrom. Perhaps it should
be a sym-link to the "real" device, probably /dev/hd[a-d], for IDE
CDROMs.
2. The standard way of playing CD's involves a wire running from the
CDROM's "analog audio output" connector, to the appropriate connector on
the sound card. It is not uncommon for computer-technicians to forget
that bit.
3. Most CDROMs have a play button (usually marked >). If you have that
button, simply insert an audio CD and press it. If there's still no
sound, then it's probably a hardware problem (CDROM, sound-card,
speakers, or any connections, including the aforesaid wire).
I hope this helps...
