I'm running 10.0-CURRENT r228926 and have no problem watching DVDs with
vlc and mplayer as an unpriviledged user in the operator group.  I can
even rip movies using dvdrip.

I have this in /etc/devfs.conf
perm    cd0     0660
perm    xpt0    0660
perm    pass0   0660
perm    pass1   0660
perm    pass2   0660
perm    pass3   0660

Haven't tried listening to audio CDs, but I can rip them with no problem.
