You can probably fix this editing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules.
Mine recently went to /dev/dvd1 with some upgrade and I had to fix it there.

Do you have libdvdcss installed?

And my mplayer also tells me (not related to your problem though):
  Remember to disable MPlayer's cache when playing dvdnav:// streams (adding -nocache to your command line)
