It is considered like an URL so one has to double the leading slash:

xine cdda://dev/cdrom

(I spent some time finding that too. It is nowhere in the doc).

Tip: use xine --verbose==2 and you will see a bunch of info, saying
that CD plugin is found but that the cdda:/dev/cdrom is not. So the
error message is correct but misleading since it specifies the two
sources of problem: first, no plugin (this is not the case); second the
MRL syntax problem: this is the problem. But it is definitively not
clear...
