You cannot mount an audio CD, it doesn't contain a file
system.

Idea: Maybe some kind of interference of your desktop
environment that intends to mount a CD that cannot be
mounted, and the command line tool trying to access
a resource that is blocked due to the first thing?

You should "step down" to the lowest level possible
for diagnostics, i. e. running the system's command
line tools to make the CD play. If _this_ works, then
"go up" and test within your GUI desktop environment.
The less abstraction layers are in between, the better.

Hmmm... I'm missing the CD in that listing.

Which mixer is your default mixer? Try -f /dev/mixer0 to
make sure the correct one is selected. On HDA codecs, there
may be several mixers.
