I don't know if this will help you or not, but the only way I could get 
cdplayer to work with 2.0R was to do 'cat /dev/mcd0c' and then kill the
process. It takes ages to die, produces loads of timeout errors and renders
the system almost unusable while it's dying, but once it's gone, cdplayer 
works without any problems.

I never had any problems with xcdplayer though, apart from a single timeout
error when it started up.

Apparently the Mitsumi code in 2.0 needed more work - I remember someone
asking for volunteers (I would have done it, but didn't have any spare time).
