Hm, I was kind of hoping that an actual Trusty user could test this..

Anyways, I used a PC with 2 drives, using one for a Trusty Live DVD to
test this.

Opening my "Guano Apes  - Don't Give Me Names" CD (having a traling data
track with multimedia) in Rhythmbox on a vanilla system didn't find the
disc on MusicBrainz.

Installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-base_1.2.4-1~ubuntu2 (updating
dependencies automatically) made Rhythmbox find the disc on MusicBrainz.

=> verified

Title:
  gstreamer/rhythmbox submits invalid Disc IDs to MusicBrainz (Trusty
  Tahr)

Status in gst-plugins-base:
  Fix Released
Status in gst-plugins-base1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gst-plugins-base1.0 source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Gstreamer calculates an ID for Audio CDs and optionally submits it to MusicBrainz.
  This enables programs to find the corresponding metadata for a CD on MusicBrainz.

  Gstreamer < 1.3.1 doesn't do this correctly for CDs with data tracks,
  leading to invalid Disc IDs being submitted to the MusicBrainz
  database.

  This is reported upstream in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708991
  and fixed in gstreamer 1.3.1. The corresponding patch is supplied as an attachment here.
  Trusty Tahr is using 1.2.x and there is no new release on that branch.
  Trusty Tahr is still supported until 2019. It would be really nice if that can be fixed.

  The bug surfaces as a problem in Rhythmbox because starting with 2.97
  this uses gstreamer for MusicBrainz Disc ID handling.
