Although this would seem to be an easy request it is proving illusive. 
My OS is SuSE 10.3.  I'm looking for a player which will:

Launch when the audio CD is inserted
Allow me to select tracks to play if desired
Not require that the tracks be ripped to play them
Not require that the CD be mounted (be found on the file system) to play

My experience so far is -

Kplayer:
	Apparently relies on Mplayer which is broken on my PC

Banshee:
	Can't do anything with playlists without import?
	Will only play the highlighted track on a CD

Amarok:
	Can't even find the audio CD (it's in a CD writer)

Kaffiene:
	Launches automatically
	Will play a whole CD but not selected tracks
	Can create a playlist with some trouble
	Doesn't seem to be able to play it (must I rip tracks?)

Mplayer:
	Is installed but missing something on this PC (won't launch)

Totem:
	Audio menu is grayed out
	Selecting Audio Disc as a location produces an error
