OK, I gather that you are using GNOME. What errors do you get if you
issue:

    gnome-cd --unique --play --device <your_device>

where your_device is your CDROM device from an Xterm?

Yes and no- Digital extraction rips and plays the CD on the
fly. Unforunately I don't think the GNOME CD player is capable of that
(last time I checked). The players for Linux that I know for sure that are
capable of Digital extraction are KSCD (Part of KDE) and XMMS.
