Bug Description
Gstreamer calculates an ID for Audio CDs and optionally submits it to MusicBrainz.
This enables programs to find the corresponding metadata for a CD on MusicBrainz.
Gstreamer < 1.3.1 doesn't do this correctly for CDs with data tracks, leading to invalid Disc IDs being submitted to the MusicBrainz database.
This is reported upstream in https:/
and fixed in gstreamer 1.3.1. The corresponding patch is supplied as an attachment here.
Trusty Tahr is using 1.2.x and there is no new release on that branch.
Trusty Tahr is still supported until 2019. It would be really nice if that can be fixed.
The bug surfaces as a problem in Rhythmbox because starting with 2.97 this uses gstreamer for MusicBrainz Disc ID handling.

Not sure why I can't add any version information in the meta info of this bug, but:
This problem only persists in Trusty Tahr (14.04.x) with gst-plugins-base 1.2.x.
All other supported Ubuntu releases already ship a fixed version of gst-plugins-base.
