What happens: When I insert an Audio CD, both Rhythmbox and Sound juicer are launched.

Expected: Only Sound juicer should start.

nautilus now handles audio CDs and launches RB. Since nautilus' media handling is much more flexible, and g-v-m is gradually being deprecated, I'll disable audio CD handling in gvm.

In fact the latest version already fixes this:

gnome-volume-manager (2.22.1-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/00_disable_media_handling.patch:
    - Disable media handling code and preferences UI, since nautilus does that
      now.
    - Patches taken from upstream bugzilla (see patch header), fixed the
      second patch and sent it back to upstream.
  * debian/patches/01_set_defaults.patch: Adapt to patch above.

I wondered why it would launch RB, when the common action probably is to rip the CD. Turns out that, according to the help file, "Importing" a CD means launching Sound juicer.

Could be more clearly worded in the menu, does not automatically actually import the music unless you tweak settings, and it is one extra step, but I guess I can live with it now that I know about it.

RB in Hardy can now both play CDs and rip them, and on top of it it
automatically integrates it into your music collection. This seems
much more consistent to us than using a separate application, and it's
the same number of clicks.
