Description Christian Neumair 2007-01-26 18:37:02 UTC 
One should be able to launch rhythmbox with

 rhythmbox /dev/foocdrom

and it should automatically play back the CD belonging to this device. It is required for using rhythmbox with HAL/gnome-volume-manager as CD player, and requested on a blog [1] by Roman Kennke.

totem-disc.h and totem-pl-parser.h should have API to allow you to do that.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2007-08-30 15:12:11 UTC 
bug 471887 allows to do this if Rhythmbox is already started.

To apply along with bug 471887.

This one will defer pushing all the items from the command-line until after the removable media manager has finished parsing items.

The good thing is that it will at least select the right medium. The bad thing is that because the tracks aren't loaded yet, it won't play anything.

Was committed as part of bug 471887.

Please open a new bug if it doesn't work appropriately...
