It works fine here. It will show a dialog with the cd/dvd drives.

Does
$ python -c 'import braseromedia; braseromedia.MediumMonitor ()'
fail?

I dunno what's going wrong... Just two ideas, does it fail with glib from
experimental, and can you rebuild libbrasero-media with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip ? The code in libbrasero-media/ doesn't call
g_thread_create_full (only g_thread_create) so I'm not sure what's calling it
and why it fails, maybe with more symbols we could find it out.
