It turned out that I had to uncheck the relevant bits on 
gnome-volume-properties, close it, then re-set them.  It seems to be working 
now.  It plays with CD-Player, though, and I'd rather have xmms if possible.  
I can play it manually in xmms, but that's not the point.

I used to achieve this on Mandriva with a desktop icon that started xmms in 
cd-read mode.  IIRC it was you who showed me how to do that.  On the box we 
were just talking about, auto-play is best, but for this one, my main 
workstation, I'd prefer the xmms icon way.  At the moment I go into 
preferences and add CD to playlist.
