I will be posting a more detailed description in the bugzilla report.

I tried the above, and yes the Audio CD icon is back on the Gnome 
desktop.  It still is not back on the KDE desktop.

Since it's back on the Gnome desktop, Rhythmbox sees the contents.  
However, Rhythmbox will not play the CD for me.

Audacious plays the CD through pulseaudio, but with skips.

VLC struggles, but plays the CD.

KsCD sees the CD (either way), but does not play it.

Kaffine happily plays the CD regardless, as long as the back end is 
ALSA.  If KDE is configured to use pulseaudio, then Kaffine sees the CD 
but does not play it.

I reverted by adding the patch back in, rebuilding the RPMs, installing, 
and then rebooting.

Apparently, there are more things going on (at least on this system - 
upgraded from F10 to F11 and re-installed pulseaudio).
