Audio CD fixes

On my Lenovo Ideacentre desktop PC, when plug in a audio CD, there is a long delay, finally the icon appears on the desktop; however, it is  not the expected optical disc icon, instead the fallback generic icon.

I traced it down to the 'blkid' utility; "blkid /dev/sr0" returns nothing. I have put fixes into /usr/local/pup_event/frontend-change and /usr/sbin/probepart. Now get the correct desktop icon, and a bit faster.

Clicking on the icon runs the default audio CD player, pCD. This is written by forum member zigbert and is very old; it no longer works properly. It parses the output of the 'cdda2wav' utility, incorrectly, causing indefinite wait at startup.

I have removed the pCD PET, and now when click on the optical disc icon, audacious will play the songs on the CD. I modified /usr/local/bin/drive_all, changed player of a audio CD to "defaultaudioplayer cdda://", which is audacious.

Note, I started looking into the optical media after reading this report of xfburn CD/DVD burner not recognizing the optical drive:

...I still have no idea why that is happening. Same problem confirmed on my Lenovo PC, but other apps access the media OK.
