I think the problem here is not that Sound Juicer "sometimes" detects the right
drive.
It does not.
Instead, it always uses the one selected in the settings dialog.
[Wishlist for a better world]I think there should not be such a setting at all!
Most of the time Sound Juicer is only started for a specific device.
For it to be run from the menu - and only if there's no way to implement auto
detection - there should be a device select box and a "go read this device's
audio tracks" button next to it - probably right below the menu bar in the main
window, since that would be the first thing to select in a normal CD ripping
workflow with no preselected device.
Instead, now, clueless users need to search the Settings dialog, before they
can start any action if not by accident the correct device is selected right
from the start.[/Wishlist for a better world]
To reproduce this bug with two cd drives, A and B.
- Select drive A in the sound juicer settings. Close sound juicer.
- Insert a disk in drive A.
Result: sound juicer fires up and displays the track list of the inserted CD.
- Now close sound juicer.
- Eject the CD from drive A
- Put it into drive B.
Result: sound juicer is launched again, but no tracks are shown. There is
nothing giving any clue as to why the title list isn't shown.
- Open the Settings dialog to find out that drive A is selected and you need to
change it to drive B.
Result: the tracks of the CD in drive B are finally shown.
Reproducible with /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_cda_command =
"sound-juicer -d %d"
Interestingly, "ps aux | grep sound" shows sound-juicer as started without any
arguments ("sound-juicer"), instead of, like defined in gconf, as "sound-juicer
-d /dev/sXXn". So the actual bug might be somewhere else.
Running "sound-juicer -d /dev/scd0" from the terminal, with /dev/scd0 being
drive B from above (the one not selected in the settings dialog), starts sound
juicer with the track list in display, as it should be.
Should I file a new bug? If yes, where? Which package handles the auto
play features?
