"As I said ... if the mount-point is right, make sure that the CD-ROM
device in xmms' settings points at the same spot as fstab."

i tried that. i set the device to hdc and when i hit play it opens up a directory navigator that shows cdrom0 and cdrom1 under dev/cdroms. when i click on cdrom0 xmms just minimizes itself.

What version is your xmms?

Mine doesn't have a navigator in the preferences dialog for the
CD-Plugin in the I/O section. Just an entry field.
