As asked before, is the file also corrupted when using gvfs-copy? I can't think
of any possible reason why only the gphoto2 backend produces broken files, we
handle all URI schemes (except filtering for automatic usage) the same in the
gio plugin.

You said "(Identical.. although the file is 70 bytes longer.)", what are these
70 additional bytes? Maybe you can attach a sample to this bug :)

That will still work, my change only prevents it from being used automatically
when asking for a cdda source.

That's not necessary IMHO... otherwise one could also argue that either gst or
gvfs should use something different than http:// for http as gstreamer http
sources are supposed to do more (icecast stuff, ...) than gvfs can possibly
offer ;)

This kind of conflicts will probably appear with other URI schemes sooner or
later and I think the best solution for this is, to prevent the gstreamer gio
source being used automatically for those schemes.

Should be fixed with my change for cdda at least.
