Running 'vlc -v' on the problematic CD 'Hot Rats' disc I got

... and so on ...
So then I took the CD out and re-seated it in the drive. This time it
played just fine and vlc said
[0xb260bbf0] cdda access warning: found 6 matches in CDDB. Using first one.
[0xb260c100] main stream error: cannot pre fill buffer

[0xb0635198] main audio output warning: PTS is out of range (-33001), dropping

and then quieted down and played fine.
Then without touching the drive, I shut dowm vlc and started up rythmbox. But
it could only play
a few seconds of music before falling silent.
After that 'vlc -v' again and it was back to lots of
[0xb5400750] main audio output warning: PTS is out of range (40031), dropping
buffer
and
ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 1065 ms)
messages.
and the music could not be heard.
Then I Ejected disk, reinserted and ran via 'vlc -v'. This time it
played ok again.
Not obvious if this is a dvd drive problem, a disk problem, or a
rhythmbox problem.
But possibly my earlier testing with vlc and rhythmbox together
without taking the disc out in between may have been misleading about
the capabilities of VLC.
I can play Patty Smith Horses if I run 'vlc' from command line and select disk.
But not if I tell the Ubuntu auto disk detector to run vlc on the disk ?
So last one Patty Smith Easter.
Insert
Select 'vlc' from automounter dialogue box
A 1/2 sec burst of sound then nothing.
Eject disk
Reinsert
Cancel from automounter dialogue box
Run vlc -v from command line
Devices / Discs / CD / cdda://dev/sr0 / play
This time it plays just fine!
So, shut vlc. Eject disk. Reinsert.
Cancel from automounter dialogue box
Run rhythmbox -d from command line
Select Devices / Easter / Play
It plays for a bit and falls silent.
Summary then. I can play all my test CDs with VLC from the command line. But
only one of them with Rhythmbox.
