But that choice isn't there... for either of us. Not with an audiocd.
It's there with a datacd (or a usb thumbdrive or portable disk), but the
action for datacd is specifically predicated on there being a filesystem
on the device (among other things, this according to device actions in
"the application formerly known as kcontrol"), and cdaudio isn't a
filesystem, it requires a "virtual" filesystem such as the audiocd:
kioslave, which is installed, but wouldn't show up as a filesystem for
hal's notifications anyway. And at least with 4.3.2 (I've not tried with
4.3.3 yet, I think, actually, I think I had half 4.3.2 and half 4.3.3 at
the time due to a change in the package manager that my config hadn't
kept up with), adding a new, otherwise identical action, but without the
filesystem constraint, did show the action in the popup, but clicking it
did nothing, because the action wasn't setup quite right for the kioslave
to handle it.
I suspect there's something missing in my config I need to setup for the
kioslave and/or device action, if others get that action with pure
audiocds and it works for them, but I've not played with it enough to
say, at this point, and there's been two other posters wondering why it
didn't work, now, so I'm not the only one for which it fails.
