Friends,
I cleared off and made a partition available and installed 64-bit Alpha 2 of lucid to see if this bug will still be a factor once Ubuntu 10.04 is released. The good news is that Audio CDs are detected properly and this BUG is NOT a factor on 64-bit Lucid Alpha 2 (with all subsequent updates applied.) Brasero and Rhythmbox were installed by default and I added Sound-Juicer via synaptic. All worked properly. None crashed (not even nautilus.)
Alpha 2 of 64-bit lucid appears to be very stable. As a matter of fact this development release of lucid is considerably more stable than the final distribution release of 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10.
The bad news is that especially since this does not appear to impact lucid, I fear that it will continue to be ignored in Karmic (and Karmic is still supposed to be supported for a little over a year and are not all these package found in main?) As of this date it has not received any attention whatsoever from upstream. I am not even certain that kicking it upstream was the proper action. Could this bug be relative to the transition from hal to device-kit?
Oh well. Thanks for taking time to read these comments. Any further action for a fix (or at least a workaround -- other than upgrading to a lucid alpha development release -- would be much appreciated.)
Thank you.
