users get this error from player:

MPlayer SVN-r38448-snapshot-16.0.6 (C) 2000-2024 MPlayer Team

Playing cdda://.
**ERROR: fread (): Invalid argument

root can plays cds:
MPlayer SVN-r38448-snapshot-16.0.6 (C) 2000-2024 MPlayer Team

Playing cdda://.
Found audio CD with 15 tracks.
rawaudio file format detected.

Track 1



So I say its a permission problem.

The device:
grumpy$ ls -l /dev/cd*
crw-rw----  1 root operator 0x91 Feb 18 07:37 /dev/cd0
lrw-rw----  1 root operator    3 Feb 18 07:38 /dev/cdrom -> cd0

The user:
grumpy$ id
uid=1001(vlad) gid=1001(vlad)
groups=1001(vlad),0(wheel),5(operator),1002(users)

The user is part of the operator group.

I am flummoxed.
