[olug] Autoplay CDs

       Quick question. When I insert an audio cd, it starts playing 
automatically. I don't mean that Rhythmbox plays it, although Rhythmbox 
is set to start when I put in a cd. But Rhythmbox doesn't play the cd, 
it just starts up. Something else is playing the cd, somewhere in the 
guts of my system. I can close Rhythmbox and the cd keeps going. I've 
looked at my processes but I haven't been able to figure out what's 
doing it. So I can't shut it off. I need to rip these cds, but I can't 
do that if they're playing at the same time, at least not reasonably. 
Any help is greatly appreciated, as this is driving me off a cliff.........
