So you do have a /dev/cdrom (just not a /dev/CDROM) that
mounts to /cdrom.

Can you do "ls -l" on /dev/hdc and send it back? Also,
could you grep /etc/group for your username?

Actually, try this. As root, add your username to the
disk group (if /dev/hdc is in the disk group, like on
my RH system) and see if xmms can use your cdrom when
you're logged in as your user.

It should read something like this:
disk:x:6:root,username
where username is, of course, your username.

Let me know!
