Welcome to unix. :) I don't mean to be glib, but that's just how things
are sometimes. I believe this error means that there is no /dev/wcd0c
file. Double check that and if it doesn't exist, as root do:
cd /dev
/bin/sh MAKEDEV wcd0c
You might also want to 'chmod o+r wcd0c' if you'd prefer not to have to
root yourself to run cd's, and your box is secure.
All that being said, I'm not familiar with xcdplayer so that may not
actually be your problem. If that doesn't do it for you, try
http://www.freebsd.org/search.html and give -questions a look.
Good luck,
Doug
