kio_audiocd problems

[RGH]

I've searched and searched about this and haven't found an answer, so
I'm trying here. This is on F8 with KDE 3.5.8. The problem is that,
whenever I insert an audio CD into the drive, KDE is launching
kio_audiocd, and I then can't use cdparanoia or cdrdao from the command
line, or grip, which is my preferred ogg ripper. What I'd like to do is
disable this somehow, but I've turned off everything I can think of,
i.e.: (i) "Show device icons" is off; (ii) the Audio CD mime type under
Peripherals>Storage Media>Notifications is set to "Do nothing"; (iii)
konqueror is not running. Advice welcome.

Afaict, this is due to a fedora-specific patch to cdparanoia to use an
O_EXCL lock instead of O_RDONLY on the CD device. I've asked the fedora
maintainer to justify this and/or provide suggestions on what to do
about it kde-wise.

Do we know whether there is a similar patch to cdrdao? I also have the
problem there.

It's not that, but that kio_audiocd uses cdparanoia-lib, which locks the
device exclusively, so other things (like cdrdao, etc...) can now longer
access the device(s) at all.
