The old code (that makes kaudiocreator slow) could be useful to track another bug. \
Here's what I just responded to the author of this comment on dot.kde :

http://dot.kde.org/1096390465/1096441014/
---------------------
"[..on my laptop] kaudiocreator just didn't succeed in ripping the cd tracks. I have \
the same problem here : it happens from times to times (espacially when I try to rip \
a cd all in 1 go) that kaudiocreator freezes. I then have to open a console an kill \
the kaudio_cd process related (you can also kill the kaudiocreator process). Then it \
_looks_ like everything is back to normal : you try re-ripping the cd and, let's say, \
this time everything goes ok. You open your <ogg-reader>, load the files : everything \
looks fine but you can't hear a thing. WTF ? I made some searches and I found that \
the wav file extracted by kaudiocreator is also "speechless". The only solution I got \
to be able to rip cds again is to reboot the entire system !!!  
 I think there are 2 problems :
 1) The first one is how kaudiocreator deals with the CDrom drive (see the bug \
reported earlier http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87267 (which I just found out)  \
2) I think that this kaudiocreator behavior pushes the CDROM drive driver to its \
limits and that the kaudiocreator freeze is due to the CDROM driver getting "mad". \
When you kill the application, the driver is left in a "weird" state and cannot rip \
cds anymore...   My CDrom drive driver is built-in my kernel so I cannot test if \
unloading/reloading the kernel would solve the problem (and validate my theory). Also \
it could be that, with <bug1> solved, <bug2> won't appear anymore.  
As I found nobody else that had the same pb, I gave up and was waiting for the new \
                2.6.9 kernel to test my theory.[..]"
----------------------

Is anyone here experiencing the same problem ? that is, basically, kaudiocreator \
crashes when you try to rip too many files in 1 go ? For me the only solution is not \
to rip more than 10 minutes of music in 1 go. I let you imagine how "emmerdant" \
(french but you probably understood the meaning) it is !
