Hi,

I recently updated Gnome to 2.22, following the update instructions,  
and had a fairly successful run. One issue that I am having is a  
problem with audio CDs not mounting, giving the error dialogue:

"Unable to mount Audio Disc    Location is not mountable".

As a test, I ran gnome cdplayer, which played the disc just fine.  
Totem did not, although I'm not sure if Totem is supposed to. I don't  
really mind if Gnome auto mounts audio discs, as all I do is rip them  
into MP3s. The only reason I mention it is that it might have  
something to do with the Sound Juicer problem. With the CD in the  
drive, I run Sound Juicer and get the error dialogue:

"Could not read CD    Sound Juicer could not access the CD-ROM device  
'3,1,0' Reason: No such file or directory"

The application then loads, but with no tracks listed. The pass device  
is writable by all, as is the xpt0 and cd1, and 'camcontrol devlist'  
lists '3,1,0' as it's address. If I run Sound Juicer at a command  
prompt, passing the '-d /dev/cd1' flag, the application runs and  
extracts the tracks.

The next problem I've been having with Sound Juicer (may or may not be  
related) is, after the tracks are ripped and encoded, I usually import  
a copy into my itunes library on another computer. After the update,  
itunes is reporting unusually long and incorrect track times for the  
songs that I have ripped since then. It also appears to be playing the  
songs slowly. I'm using the lame gstreamer plugin with VBR options  
enabled. As I've heard iPods have trouble with the v2.4 id3 tags that  
the id3mux plugin uses, I've been using the xingmux plugin to add on a  
header and am adding my own id3 tags using easytag. I know that's a  
lot of different applications which could be causing the problem, but  
it almost sounds to me as if xingmux isn't working correctly. XMMS  
seems to play the mp3s without problem, so I don't know.

Any obvious things that I am missing? I'm using 'gnome-enable="YES"'  
and have procfs loaded. Both dbus and hal seem to be functioning  
properly. Data CDs automount just fine, and even DVD movies are loaded  
and played without issue on this same drive.

Thanks in advance,
-Scott
