First problem:  you can't mount an audio CD - there's no filesystem to
mount.

The rest of the problems are more tricky.  I seem to remember from some
time ago that xcdplayer and cdplayer like the CD-ROM to be /dev/cdrom or
/cdrom.  Try creating symbolic links for both of those to your actual
cdrom device (probably /dev/acd0a or something)

hint: to create symbolic links: ln -s  (man ln for more info)
