I just began using this program and I am having a similar problem.
However, I do not think it is a matter of not having mplayer installed.
According to their webpage:
There are no external dependencies if you use the full binary release
(~12 MB)! This means that you will not have to waste any time
downloading other RPMs, libs etc to run Freevo.
There are usually RPMs available too which might be preferred on some
systems. If you have problems with the RPMs you should try the binary
.tar.gz installation method since it is well-tested.
The problem that I am getting is that I can play cd's and mp3's as root
(have not yet tried movie files), but I am unable to play cd's as user.
I untar'ed and configured everything as user and I can play mp3's, just
not cd. It seems to me that it might be a permissions issue which I am
working on now. I just thought I would save you the trouble of
unnecessarily downloading and building mplayer (I hear it can be a
pain). If anyone has any ideas regarding my permissions trouble, that
would be greatly appreciated. Below is the output of an strace of when
I try to lay a cd:
