After testing this problem further, it seems this problem exists in gnome (possibly in the vfs subsystem?). If I login into an xterm session I can play and rip audio CD's as expected. To duplicate the errors as above in the xterm session all I have to do is try to mount the audio CD (# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom).
I believe the problem comes from gnome or some part the freedesktop frame works (this problem seems to also exist for KDE users) continual attempts actually mount the audio CD. I believe the desktop session should only be creating/updating icons to indicate there is an audio CD present? I can get some CD players (like GooBox) to work in Gnome if I turn off nautilus auto mounting, but anything that depends heavily on Gnome still doesn't work (like Rhythmbox). I hope this can give some direction to a fix ;) -- unable to play audio CDs on SATA dvd/cd player https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
