I have more, I just try with 

cdda.cddb_servername=freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi
cdda.cddb_serverport=80

and get success in the console. But I don't get any playlist, when it was
working with the same disc and abcde.

I am not sure, but it seam at it is more as just one problem.

With port 8880 and freedb.freedb.org, I get

Searching for CDDB entries on /home/dom/.alsaplayer/cddb ... 
CDDB server: freedb.freedb.org:8880
Opening Connection to freedb.freedb.org:8880 ... 
OK

<- 201 mirror2.freedb.org CDDBP server v1.5.2PL0 ready at Mon May 28 12:14:30
200 Saying HELLO to CDDB server ...
bad response from the server

With port 80 and freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi (I am not sure anymore at it
si for committing playlist or to get them), I get:

Searching for CDDB entries on /home/dom/.alsaplayer/cddb ... 
CDDB server: freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi:80
Opening Connection to freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi:80 ... 
Succès

but nothing more.
