            Bug ID: 481757
           Summary: Slowdown of extraction process due to fetching
                    subchannel infos
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Audex
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General
          Assignee: c...@carlschwan.eu
          Reporter: jan.rathm...@gmx.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The following commit makes Audex reading subchannel infos at start (or end?) of
every audio track ("Fetching extra information from disc...") during
extraction, causing the process to stall for ~20-30 seconds per track:

https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/audex/-/commit/f3da7ab976b241e5784a9c4861828578dd80c8c5
* Add MCN and ISRC placeholders
* Some code consistency fixes
* Show more device capabilities on device widget

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start audio extraction (I have paranoia mode enabled.)
2. Watch messages of extraction process in its window.

OBSERVED RESULT
At change between tracks, there is the message "Fetching extra information from
disc...", the process stalls for ~20-30 sec. while CD drive is making busy
sounds.

EXPECTED RESULT
For me the previous behaviour (direct continuation of the extraction process
between tracks without the subchannel info fetching) is more desireable.

I'm not sure if those subchannel infos that Audex fetches have any purpose at
all for my use case (converting audio discs to track-by-track flac files). If
the subchannel infos are not related to the integrity/quality of the actual
audio data, a setting to enable/disable fetching subchannel infos would be
really useful for me!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My drive (information from Audex Device Settings:)
Vendor: HL-DT-ST (imprint says "LG")
Model: DVDRAM GH24NS95
Revision: RN00

Tested with kdesrc builds of Audex and Plasma 6.0 on Ubuntu 23.10.
