Well, the error messages which you are seeing are independant of the problem
in which the audio CD won't play.
You *should* get errors when you try to mount an audio CD because there is no
filesystem on the disc. If there is an audio disc in the drive at bootup, or
if you have software running which tried to mount the drive whenever media is
inserted, you will see these errors.
I don't have any such software running, so I rarely get the error messages in
/var/log/messages. However, I still cannot get my drive to recognize an audio
CD.

I've posted this problem twice to the list. The only replies I had either
time were from people who had the problem but were trying to mount the disk or
from people who had hardware failure...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
