Exaile cant read audio cd on 'slave' cd players

[Adam Olsen]

Hello,
when I try to listen an audio cd on a slave cd dvd player which works fine on other software such as amarok or rhythmbox, Exaile is not able to read the cd. I can :
 - read the toc of the cd ain insert on a playlist
 - try to start to read any track

Unfortunately, exaile doesn t read the track and the progress bar is blocked.

I also tried to read a cd on my cd burner which are on the master slot, and it works fine.

You could find below the logs which are in the console output

{{{

I have tested exaile against ubuntu feisty fawn
I also detected this bug on exaile 0.9 and on both i386 and am64 releases

Thanks

Same problem on Fedora Core 6. 'Open disc' works fine but pressing 'Play' button does not actually starts playing though Exaile shows that it is playing in notify windows and changes button picture to 'Pause'. Progress bar and timer do not change.

Moving my comment from the old bug report:

Yeah, Exaile doesn't really support multiple CD drives (only one will work). It's definitely something I'd like to get fixed one day. If anyone wants to take a stab at fixing this, see the note in the playbin documentation[1] about how to do it.
