What do you mean by "default media player"?

Default DVD/CD-drive that plays media.  Sorry - my poor wording. I mean the device doesn't seem to be automounted when I load an optical disk. 

The applications that play DVD (mplayer, kmplayer, totem) and audio CDs (kscd, goobox) cannot find the media.  In one bizarre twist, kscd can read track names, but when prompted to press play claims there's no disk. 

The only app so far that does pick it up is rhythmbox which registers it as a device.  Goobox declares an invalid drive.
