Bug#577088: sound-juicer: doesn't find any CD drives, even when told which to use

[Stephen Kitt]

Package: sound-juicer
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

On my machine sound-juicer can no longer find any CD drives to use (I
have two, an ATAPI DVD-RW drive and a SCSI CD-RW drive).

If I start sound-juicer without any arguments, it pops up a dialog box
titled "No CD-ROM drives found" saying "Sound Juicer could not find
any CD-ROM drives to read."

If I start sound-juicer with the -d parameter to specify a CD-ROM
drive, for example
       sound-juicer -d /dev/sr1
(with an audio CD in the drive, just to make sure), it pops up a
different dialog box titled "Sound Juicer could not use the CD-ROM
device '/dev/sr1'" saying "HAL daemon may not be running." (I thought
hal was no longer required; is that not the case?)

I tried installing hal but it didn't change anything (I didn't restart
my session though).

cdparanoia can extract the audio using the same drive without any
trouble. I tried stracing sound-juicer but couldn't see anything
special.

Regards,

Stephen
