Banshee and Rhythmbox only can play half audio CDs (FIXED)

I don't know why banshee and rhythmbox are only able to play half of audio CDs. For example, of a CD with 12 songs, they can only play first 6 or first 7. Following songs are skipped

They don't leave much info in terminal, only say that sometimes rhythmbox segfaults due this problem

I don't know if it is the same problem, but when i was using Rhytmhbox to play music in my last birthday party, it suddenly stopped. I restarted it and later it stopped again. It looks like after some time Rhythmbox fails and stops playing.
This is my case, i don't know if we have different manifestations of the same problem.

But, in my case, also banshee is affected

Fixed in both after re-emerging some gst plugins (sorry, but I don't know what exact plugin was the culprit, I simply checked banshee ebuild for its RDEPEND):

Code: Select all

Weird. I was trying to rip CDs and Banshee and Rhythmbox would only rip half the CD, so I thought I needed to get a new DVDR drive. If this works for me, you might have saved my poor ass some money.
