On slightly extended test from previously the current banshee failed to return any cd info on 15 out of 20 randomly chosen cd's., so at best a 25% success rate
Patching the current source with the attached patch saw a 100% success rate on those same 20 cd's
Retrieving the proper album art, while not perfect, was acceptable with about a 75% success rate which is understandable due to the nature of the patch
In lieu of a better solution some consideration should be given using this patch in the meantime or using a banshee source where the commit was applied

This was fix released for 11.10 in banshee (2.1.3-1ubuntu1)
However changelog points to a natty bug that points to a SRU for natty that wasn't fixed as of last comment there , so possibly too bad for 11.04
