[Bug 55513] Repeated 1-3 sec lockups in Rhythmbox while accessing CD drive

[Mike Stukalov]

Public bug reported:

Using Rhythmbox 0.9.5

1. Start the app
2. Notice that UI locks every 1-2 second for 1 to 3 seconds. In this state the application has very bad user experience.

I did a strace and this is the function which makes UI lock:
open("/dev/scd0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 26

I don't know if it is related to rhythmbox itself or my system, but I
don't get any freezes with other music players...

It is also reproducible with stock Dapper package (0.9.3-something)

** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
