We do not build the gvfs CDDA backend due to a version mismatch with our
libcdio (the port needs to be updated to 0.78.2 or higher).  This error
is harmless.

This points to a hal problem, but I cannot reproduce.  Sound-juicer (and
rhythmbox) properly access the CD, and fetch the CDDB data.  This might
also have something to do with some bad GConf data.  You might try
creating a new account, and see if this problem is seen there.  You
should also go through the media mounting question in the HAL FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html to make sure everything
there checks out.

You might try using a different set of gstreamer plug-ins to try and
isolate the extraction problem.  I haven't seen any issues with
extraction, but I leave everything the default as I only extract CD
audio to ogg for playing in rhythmbox.
