Kaffeine 1.0-pre3 plays only the first track of the CD disk and stopping

[arraia_1]

Binary package hint: kaffeine

When launching Kaffeine to "Play Audio CD", he plays only the first track of the standard CD disk and stopping (no error message is presented). I have not found a way to play more than one (first) track from the audio CD. At the same time the player Xine works well and plays the entire disk completely.

Tested packages (with the same problem):

kaffeine-1.0~pre3-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa1 (amd64) in Kubuntu 9.10 x86_64, kernel 2.6.31-19-generic, KDE 4.4.0.

kaffeine-1.0-pre3.tar.gz (original source code from developer's site) compiled in Kubuntu 9.04 i386, kernel 2.6.28-18-generic, KDE 4.3.5.

PS: When launching Kaffeine in the console I get the following output:

Are you giving Kaffeine enough time?
I get the same burst, then it seems to be buffering. Then a jittery start, but after about half a minute (that's a guess) it's off.

I see this too in Lucid. Seems like kaffeine thinks the CD consists of only one track. If you do the "forward one track" button it immediately stops; if you wait for the first track to finish it also stops.

I can confirm this issue also on Debian Squeeze on a HP ProBook 4515s. Interestingly, the same system works fine on a Dell machine. Looks like this issue is hardware-dependend...

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

I just noticed something very interesting:
On the HP ProBook, there was no device file "/dev/cdrom", only the following symlink:
    /dev/cdrom1 -> sr0
After executing the following command:
    sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
the issue seems fixed, Kaffeine plays through the Audio CD as expected.

Ronny's fix worked for me.

I now have:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 11 21:45 cdrom -> /dev/sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 11 21:38 cdrom3 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 11 21:38 cdrw3 -> sr0

....3 I think is because I have been swapping out different types of CD/DVD drives.

Thanks,
