I think you mean "symlink", which is short for "symbolic link".

It doesn't matter which one is linked to which, really, all that matters
is that the app you're using to play points at the one you want it to
access. if the app is trying to use /dev/cdrom1, and if that links to
/dev/scd0, then it'll be trying to play sound on /dev/scd0.

Well, it only has ONE of your drives set up to use ide-scsi (/dev/hdc),
while the other one (/dev/hdd???) is still an ATAPI device. You should
be able to set them up like this:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
(of course, you can name the "cdromx" part of it anything you want,
so you could use /dev/firstcd and /dev/2ndcd, or anything else that
strikes your fancy--it's just a link/pointer/indirection to the real
device--as long as the programs that access it know the name you've
used).
There's nothing wrong with having one CD use ide-scsi emulation and
one not (except the one that does not is not usable by X-CDROAST). But
if you want both of them to use it, then set it up as you suggested up
above and change the /dev/cdromx links appropriately.
if you still don't get sound, the things to check are:
1. is the player even finding the drive? (i.e., does the drive actually
play the CD or not?)
2. if so, do you get sound at the headphone jack on the device?
3. if so, make sure the audio cable from the CD to the sound card
is properly connected. (also make sure it's not defective)
4. if so, do you have the correct channel volume turned up on your
sound mixer?
5. if so, is your sound card busted?
6. If NOT, I'm out of ideas!

ditto
FYI, here's the appropriate entry from my /etc/grub.conf:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi hdf=ide-scsi
And the /dev/cd* links:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 1 2002 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 24 2002 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1
