The first step is making sure you have some sort of sound, you can worry about the cd player later (xcdplayer should work). Have you make the sound devices? If not, do a 'sh /dev/MAKEDEV snd0'. Can you hear anything? Install a simple wav player and play a wav file (copy one from windoze to a floppy). Once you know you can hear sound, move on the cd players. Most players do not want the cd mounted, but a few do (xmms does). So try playing the cd both mounted and unmounted.
