I am the maintainer of VLC, I have an outstanding PR (ports/162190) on the issue
of cdda:// access.
I can confirm this issues, but don't know enough about driver access to fix this
myself. Doug Barton reports that cdcontrol(1) doesn't work for him, and mplayer
and audactiy also display issues running as non-root.
Under 9.0-RC3 r228843, I get these errors on boot with no disc present in
/dev/cd0 at all.
(pass1:ahcich2:0:0:0): ATA_IDENTIFY. ACB: ec 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 01 00
(pass1:ahcich2:0:0:0): CAM status: ATA Status Error
(pass1:ahcich2:0:0:0): ATA status: 51 (DRDY SERV ERR), error: 04 (ABRT )
(pass1:ahcich2:0:0:0): RES: 51 04 01 14 eb 40 00 00 00 01 00
These ports are fairly popular, but the problems may not lie exclusively with
their assumptions about FreeBSD. I am running 10.0 on another machine
specifically to test changes under src/sys/cam.
I am worried that with the actual 9.0-RELEASE on the horizon, users will find
show stopping problems using their disc drives.
