Bug Description
Playing Audio CDs has poor user experience as the drive is spinning like crazy. To work around that I manually resort to running hdparm -E 1 /dev/sr0 but it would be nice if banshee did this by default

Cross-posted from the GNOME bugzilla (see gnome-bugs link above; also please CC yourself to that bug):
I'm not sure this is something we should do ourselves, we basically just tell
GStreamer to play the CD.
In fact, it be be even happening at the hardware level. The man page for hdparm
states :
-E Set cd/dvd drive speed. This is NOT necessary for regular
operation, as the drive will automatically switch speeds on its own.
