mplayer needs to be compiled with libcdio to support playing cdda:// & cddb://

Then you only need to give -cdrom-device argument to mplayer. But you
do not need that,
something like this will work just fine (from mplayer manual page):

mplayer [cdda|cddb]://track[-endtrack][:speed][/device] [options]
