Code:
# dmesg | grep CD-ROM

[    0.782767] scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM            PLEXTOR  DVDR   PX-891SAF 1.V6 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[    0.811097] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[    0.811257] sr 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0


and my /etc/fstab
Code:

/dev/sda1               /boot           vfat            defaults,noatime        0 0
/dev/sda2               /               xfs             defaults,noatime        0 0
/dev/sr0               /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,users,ro         0 0


Trying VLC to play the cd:
Code:

$ cvlc cdda://dev/sr0

VLC media player 3.0.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.2-0-gd7b653cf14)
[000055bb1c77dc10] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[00007f68f40009e0] main input error: Your input can't be opened
[00007f68f40009e0] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda://dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.


MPV would play the cd with this:

Code:
$ mpv cdda://

Playing: cdda://
[cdda] Switched to track 1
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (pcm_s16le 2ch 44100Hz)
AO: [pulse] 44100Hz stereo 2ch s16


Appreciate your help

Same error with added slash. By the way, also shows the error if trying to play audio cd from graphical mode of VLC!

Yes, this is a use flag combination issue that unfortunately went unnoticed during testing phase. Will be fixed in -r1, in the meantime please rebuild with USE=vcd and it should be fixed.
