Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When I try to open audio file (from audio cd) to Totem or Vlc I got an error. This same error happens at least in two different platforms.
Totem => "Stream contains no data."
Vlc => "Unable to open 'cdda:/
$ vlc cdda://
VLC media player 0.8.6e Janus
[00000292] main input error: no suitable access module for `cdda:/
[00000283] main playlist: nothing to play
signal 2 received, terminating vlc - do it again in case it gets stuck
[00000283] main playlist: stopping playback
However, directly opening vlc cdda:///dev/scd0 works fine. Also Rhythmbox can play these files.
This is actually not a bug in Nautilus.; VLC does not use the GIO/GVFS system, but accepts cdda:// URIs of a different format (as you yourself specified). VLC is an edge-case in this situation, as it clearly can accept URIs in some cases, however not generally. This is probably a bug/mis-feature in VLC, but they'll have to decide how they want to handle it (be that have an input module for GIO, or not take VFS URIs from Nautilus).
There's a subtle, well, miscommunication bug that might exist here. GVFS claims the cdda scheme which is already in use by so many applications that it may be disruptive to do so. Upstream is currently considering renaming this scheme to cddafs to avoid this confusion. See http:// bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 527159 for details.
