Audio CD metadata not being retrieved / UI freezing (Ubuntu 24.04)

[floorjoist]

This is the first time I've run DeaDBeeF on this machine (Ubuntu 24.04) and the program absolutely refuses to tag Audio CD metadata.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Insert Audio CD in external drive
2. in DeaDBeef, select File -> Add Audio CD

(It displays this message several times when attempting to load the CD - dismissing the message about three times then brings up the audio disc display)

3. Highlight all disc tracks, right-click and select Reload Metadata

Results:
nothing happens

Information about the software:

Deadbeef version: 1.9.6 [static]
OS: Ubuntu 22.04

I have several other media players on this machine and others (like Rhythmbox) automatically retrieve and display Audio CD metadata with no issue.

the metadata tagging errors don't seem to show up in logging:
