I tried compiling with --disable-cdparanoia and it still does not see the cd. 
I tired with -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom as well

I was specifying --with-cdparanioalibdir because originally when I compiled it 
did not pick up the cdda libs. Since I was advised to install the dev files 
of cdparanoia that was fixed but then on compiling there was a make error.

I am stumped.

I had an old synaptic package manager version of mplayer running fine.
