[Bug 961712] [NEW] brasero chokes on symlinked audio track files

[jimav]

Public bug reported:

If symlinks to track files (in flac format) are added to an Audio CD
project, an error pop-up occurs for each one saying it is not a valid
file format.

The exact same files work fine if referenced directly, not via symlinks.

This seems silly; something must be explicitly checking for symbolic
links, since a kernel open() call on a symlink would open the referenced
file transparently.
