Some optical discs not mounting properly in 16.04

 

As the title indicates some CD and DVD discs fail to automount properly in 16.04. This affects all flavors AFAIK. I have not been able to reproduce this bug personally but there have been multiple reports on the forums:

It does not affect all discs but one of the posters made a partial list here:

Others have indicated that only audio discs are affected but I'm unsure of that. It has been mentioned that blank discs are recognized by Brasero but after burning they aren't recognized.

Workaround from the French forums (since I don't read French I don't totally understand):

At least one of those affected is quite involved and I think would be willing to test potential fixes:

And obviously another was willing to report upstream. Can someone else possibly jump in and help?

Thanks in advance,
