If this might have something to do with the drive not being compatible with Linux, then consider that I'm able to play audio cd using SMPlayer 0.6.9 with the MPlayer backend without SMPlayer crashing.
So this might not be an issue with the drive itself, but with how the applications (Brasero, Rhythmbox, Sound-Juicer) interact with the drive when audio cd is inserted. ** Visibility changed to: Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749803 Title: brasero crashed with SIGSEGV in start_thread() when audio cd inserted in a PIONEER drive -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
