A few annoying multimedia problems...

1) mplayerplug-in is not working correclty. It seems like it is loading the clip, but the second it is done loading, it says "stopped"
2) Neither Mplayer or Xine will play dvds, giving me a similar error: "Failed to open: dvd:/" and for Xine it will say something about MRL being wrong, also saying something about /dev/dvd not existing. How could I add /dev/dvd?
3) When attempting to play a cd I recieve this error: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'audiocd'.
4) not really a problem but I find this odd: At one point, flash videos were playing, but no sound was heard. And then, suddenly it works. Could it have been the fact that I rebooted the system that made the plugins work correctly?
5) Text on some sites and on apps like Kate are EXTREMELY small. It seems to be their default size too. Sometimes I will have this problem with websites as well.
6) Why am I still able to access my flash drive even though I removed it? Does it have something to do with ivman?

If any additionaly info is needed just ask.
Help plz

I tried that touch thing and it made mplayerplug-in work one time, with no sound, then it didn't play at all after that. Whenever I try to unmount it this is the error I get: umount: /media/sda is not in the fstab (and you are not root) Please check that the disk is entered correctly. When I am root though in the Konsole and use umount /dev/sda, it unmounts it, but then it can't seem to identify that I put it in again if I need to. Also, about flash "working", it seems to be a random thing. If I close firefox and bring up a new one somtimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt.

[edit] Ok, problem with the usb flash drive: I am able to remove it with being root in Konsole but the icon doesnt leave my desktop until I go into kde as root and select "Safetly remove". It also does detect it when I insert it into the usb port, but It doesnt detect it when I remove it (as in taking the icon off of my desktop)

This is my fstab configuration

/dev/hda1 /boot reiserfs defaults,noatime,notail$
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,usr 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec $

The important part I think is the /etc/fstab entry
