Bug#402738: Audio CD's under Debian Etch (frozen) not readable

Hi,

If think this is a bug in GStreamer, the backend used by both Rythmbox and 
Sound-Juicer to play and extract audio Cd's. Totem (Movie Player) doesn't 
support playing audio CD's any longer. (It's a Movie Player, not a Media 
Player).

I think it would be appropriate to reassign this bug to 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base.

I'm not sure how to go about debugging this, but a start could be to run

        gst-launch-0.10 cdda://1 ! autoaudiosink

from a terminal, and see what error messages you get.
