...possibly.
linux doesn't actually "mount" audio cds since the filesystem being used isn't 
really "normal".  here's what i had to do to get xmms playing audio cds:

make sure your system sees your cdrom, and then edit fstab to recognise a 
mount dir for your cdrom:

  /dev/cdroms/cdrom0  /mnt/cdrom  autio  ro,user,noauto,exec  0 0

open xmms and select "add > dir" from the playlist menu.  select /mnt/cdrom as 
the target dir

that's it that's all.
