That's a bit odd there...  I assume your username is mikem, but it's odd that 
the device would be owned by you if you didn't specifically set it that way - 
do you recall playing with these files' permissions before?

Anyway, this ought to correct matters... as root:
# chown root /dev/sr0
# chmod 664 /dev/sr0
# chmod 664 /dev/scd0
# ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
# adduser mikem disk

That way, anyone in the disk group can write to the CD drive and anyone can 
read it.  These commands ought to at least make things "normal" again and if 
it still doesn't work, we can at least start there.

Now you should see disk in here too.

See if the audiocd:/ extension works now?  Also, I would go back into the 
Control Center, go to the Sound/Multimedia section, and the Audio CD applet.  
Specifically set the CD device to /dec/scd0.
