Try this.

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal). Then type:

gstreamer-properties

In the window for Multimedia Systems Selector that pops up, choose "ESD - Enlightenment Sound Daemon" for the "Default Output Plugin"

See if CDs play now.

ESD is not an option under the default output plugin. The available options are ALSA, OSS Test Sound, Silence and custom. The following terminal message resulted.

gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'

Any additional help is still appreciated.

Thanks to Jim Jones

I have resolved the problem by adding additional gstream packages that allowed me to use the esd for the default output
