New Audio CD plugin
Background
GStreamer today has two plugins for reading audiocd's. One is based on cdparanoia and the other is based on libcdio. These two plugins currently reside in gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good, but since both libraries are GPL this is a violation of the GStreamer licensing policy. Sun has created a new plugin/library under the LGPL, but it needs porting from Solaris to Linux.
The plugin need to implement CD error correction. Something similar to what is already implemented in cdparanoia and cdio. Obviously this will need to be implemented without copying code from the existing GPL libcdio or libcdparanoia projects.
This task might be quite hard to accomplish for someone during the SoC unless they already are quite skilled in the field.
