I don't think it's just you being dense (unless I'm being dense too).
I've been seeing the same error messages since 'upgrading' to Ubuntu
Intrepid. I suspect it's something to do with Intrepid being clever and
trying to do some sort of automounting on the CD, which fails on audio
CDs (although Kaffeine, grip etc. still work).

I still can't write CDs or DVDs in Intrepid either -- I'll look into it
after the festivities have died down.

cheers
