Tom,

You must have gstreamer-plugins built with Cdparanoia (audio/paranoia) 
support. Install Cdparanoia then run portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins.

It depends. If you hardware likes other cds then ZZ Top really makes it 
blue. In this case I bet you will see ata error messages on console. If 
no then it must be a problem with CD Player configuration. Check wich 
drive it looks for cds (settings dialog).

All the best,
Alexander.
