[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 953166] Re: Banshee should slow down the drive while playing CD audio

[Chow Loong Jin]

Cross-posted from the GNOME bugzilla (see gnome-bugs link above; also
please CC yourself to that bug):

I'm not sure this is something we should do ourselves, we basically just tell
GStreamer to play the CD.

In fact, it be be even happening at the hardware level. The man page for hdparm
states :

-E     Set  cd/dvd  drive  speed.   This is NOT necessary for regular
operation, as the drive will automatically switch speeds on its own.

Title:
  Banshee should slow down the drive while playing CD audio

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  New
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Playing Audio CDs has poor user experience as the drive is spinning
  like crazy. To work around that I manually resort to running hdparm -E
  1 /dev/sr0 but it would be nice if banshee did this by default
