tried to play audio cd using kscd nothing happened got this in console:

CDTEXT ERROR: GET_FEATURY_LIST(0x46) not implemented or broken. ret = -1!
CDTEXT INFO: GET_FEATURY_LIST(0x46) ignored. It's OK, becose many CDROMS don't
implement this featury

ret = -1!

permissions for sr0, and sr1 is set to -rw------- the user is set to my user
name (ralph) and the group is set to disk. Hope this helps a little bit more.
