This is using Xubuntu.

If I open the disc in Thunar (XFCE file manager), but don't play anything, then suddenly asunder starts working properly. So there's a workaround....

I have had this problem for years; it's still a problem on the latest asunder (2.2-1) on raring. I'm also running in XFCE. I'll attach a gdb stacktrace of when asunder is stuck.

Note that the Asunder changelog (http://littlesvr.ca/asunder/releases/ChangeLog) notes hanging issues being fixed in 2.5. I've run a test of Asunder 2.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 using the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/cdda1 - this seems to genuinely have fixed this bug.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/asunder/+bug/1298567 is a request to backport Asunder 2.5, which is available on later releases of Ubuntu, to 14.04
