There's a pretty good investigation of this bug/phenomenon in this archived thread at the Ubuntu forums:
[Audio CD Ejects - Ubuntu Forum] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272009 The problem seems most frequently associated with Mitsumi drives (various models), though I've seen at least one other manufacturer's drive reported. It's reasonable to suspect that Rhythmbox is not the source of the bug, but the only available workaround (killing the hal daemon, hald) results in Rhythmbox (and Sound Juicer) failing to work. -- CD ejects on first strating to play, then reports paused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245703 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
