Infact, just inserting a CD is enough. No need for a media player to try and access the files. :)
The backend must be polling and trying to mount the disc upon insertion. Kernel 2.6.16 and before did that fine, but kernel 2.6.17 and above don't and give error messages. Which explains why downgrading the kernel solves the problem. (If it were a HAL or KDE/ GNOME problem then shouldn't downgrading the kernel *not* help?) Just thinking aloud ...
I believe the problem is not that the kernel is providing an error, but
that it is providing an error which is taken as "DIDN'T WORK THIS TIME,
BUT TRY AGAIN" rather than a permanent error. Asking every
media-consious application to be rewritten is perhaps not the best
solution, either return another error, or return what application expect
(non-error but no data??)
Changes which break a large number of applications are probably ill-advised.

Well my bet is xine-lib is buggy somehow as I can reproduce this bug with
kaffeine ( KDE media player ).
Same symptoms occur with mplayer also, dmesg flooded with warnings, what about
hal or KDE's cdpolling backend?
