audio error in VLC

~$ groups
garypeg adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin

:~$ mplayer  -cache 500 -cdda speed=1 cdda://1

Playing cdda://1.
Found audio CD with 6 tracks.
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)

I heard the disc spin but that's all.  At the moment I have no sound of any
sort.
