Let us be clear. The complaints about CDs not playing were in gnome but:
audio CDs do not play in KDE either on the same machines and:
All was well until the July updates. It is the updates that broke the
system. In order to get yuutube, hulu, etc to work I had to remove
alsa-pulseaudio rpm, which had been updates in early July. But this did
not cure the audio CD problem.

I am having the same problem with my 32 and 64 bit machines. I have not
found a followup
to this thread. Has anyone found a fix for it yet?
