Audio CD Mount Point, 11.04, Unity, Artistx

[Clint Tinsley]

FWIW, I made some progess on this. The mount point is ~/.gvfs/cdda on sr0

 Obviously, this is a hidden folder and not browseable by most of the CD applications I tried. However, it does show up in file manager as a cdda://mount. Banshee behaves strangely, if I try to open banshee from a audio file, I get an error of cannot find banshee-1. If I fire off Banshee from one of the two application icons provided (one of the icons is doesn't start the application and I need to look into it), it starts up and I can play the CD using Banshee and Banshee does display all the CD information properly including the Album cover.

 It is interesting that cd's are mounted as cdda where DVD's are mounted properly under media, using a true mount point and show up in the mount command where cdda mounts do not.

With 11.04 (Artistx version), when I insert an Audio CD, the only Application that seems able to actually play the CD is Rhythmbox although KsCD sees it and displays the contents of the CD (tracks, title, and time), however, pushing the play button doesn't play it. The other audio CD player applications I tried can't even see it. Issuing a mount command does not reveal a mount point for the CD although one would expect it to be in /media/cdrom, nothing there. Any thoughts on where the CD is actually mounted or how Rhythmbox, along with KsCD, is able to find it and Rhythmbox can play it where the other CD players are not able to. Without a mount point (which should exist), one cannot browse to it either, hence the mount question. 

 One other thing, in Unity, the CD is shown as an Audio Disk on the Desktop but looking in ~/Desktop reveals an empty directory.
