You can always try /usr/sbin/cdplay, which is a textbased cdplayer
which can easily be embedded in a graphical version, using for example
Tcl/Tk, like the 'xcd' program from the ports distribution. I got both
of them to work with my ATAPI CDROM, so it should work without
problems. (And no, me neither have had any success with xmcd.)
