sound-juicer cannot find CD-ROM (but I can browse CD contents using nautilus)

[Kristian]

sound-juicer worked in Ubuntu 12.10, but after upgrading to 13.04, it cannot read audio CDs.

* When starting sound-juicer, an error dialog appears with the following message:

----------------
Could not start Sound Juicer

Reason: The plugin necessary for CD access was not found.
Please consult the documentation for assistance.
----------------

Additionally, the terminal window is filled with a kind of parsing-errors/warnings of this kind. This could be unrelated.

----------------

The sound-juicer main window appears, and is populated with correct song-names corresponding to the CD in the CD-ROM. Pressing the extract-button, however, does not work. It gives another error message:

----------------
Sound Juicer could not extract this CD.
Reason: Could not create GStreamer CD reader
----------------

* If starting sound-juicer with sudo (not reccomended to do), the error message is somewhat different:
----------------
No CD-ROM drives found

Sound Juicer could not find any CD-ROM drives to read.
----------------

The sound-juicer main window does not appear at all in this case.
