 I've had a look at the Gnome Control Centre and the other settings
 accessible from the desktop. Nothing jumps out as controlling this.
 Don't seem to be any USE flags either. Anyone know any other places to
 look?

And the discussion about the handling of CDDA stuff...

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-vfs-list/2005-September/msg00017.html

Anyway, sincerely, that shouldn't be so much of a problem, you can
still play the CD... (that's why my desktop has no icons) :)


  
   No more. The icon still appears but when I click it I get a
   Couldn't display cdda:///dev/hda error dialog. Trying to
   mount the drive manually results in:
 
  Well, hmmm, what can I say, /dev/hda? Hmmm, sounds weird, do you use
  udev? If so, you probably have a /dev/cdrom, try this instead.
 

 The CD/DVD drive has always been on hda while the hard drive is hdc:

   $ ls -al cdrom
   lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Mar  5 18:24 cdrom - hda

   # mount /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder/
   mount: you must specify the filesystem type
   # mount -t cdfs -r /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder/
   mount: unknown filesystem type 'cdfs'

You just can't mount it as far as I know... You play them, not mount them.


 Goolge finds the following link:

   http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20869

 This seems to say that cdfs is not even in portage yet. An
 emerge --searchdesc cdfs confirms this. So what's going
 on? This worked at one time and I thought that cdfs was the
 file system that made it work.

 As for timeframe, I haven't tried this in a while. Since at
 least before the Gnome 2.12 upgrade.

 Thanks in advance for any help,
