It's really annoying, but worst, it's impossible to make it stop. So I still think this is a bug.
* [SOLVED] Rhythmbox: Unable to activate plugin Audio CD Recorder
Read that thread. It contains important info, and there is a solution (last post) to this in gconf (who would've guessed XD).
Anyways upstream doesn't think that this is a bug. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582041
Closing this report.
"If you can install rhythmbox without installing a shared library that one of
its plugins depends on, the package dependencies (or whatever arch uses) are
wrong."
and
"This is a distribution problem, as the brasero libraries are required to have that
plugin working."
So, I think brasero have to be a dependency not only optional dependency!
I thin the maintainers from gnome are wrong, they have to offer the option for the users to make use of the plugin or not. Why I would install brasero for a plugin that I don't want to use?!
And the solution to use gconf is awful! I just don't beleave that you ask users to do that!
Close this bug without to correct this behavior is an error!
From the link:
"
optdepends
An array of package names that are not needed for the software to function but provides additional features. A short description of what each package provides should also be noted.
"
In this case rhythmbox doesn't need brasero to function, but it does add additional features. I have added an entry to the rhythmbox wiki stating this problem and the solution. I think this will be the best course of action for this issue.
I agree with you just because I think this is an upstream bug! Again, Why I would install brasero for a plugin that I don't want to use?!
In other words, why the distribution would package rhythmbox with brasero as dependency if an user don't want to use this plugin and brasero either, just rhythmbox for listen to music? Could you imagine a user that don't have the drive to burn medias?
It's funny 'cause this make me remember an old story, windows+IE. Why rhythmbox are forcing users to use brasero specifically?!
Anyway, your solution appears to be the best for the distribution, sadly...

I added it specifically so that you don't have to install brasero to remove the error message.
