Well a particular rule could be causing problems and perhaps installing
media-player-info as suggested by libsolid may help with this issue.

Udev creates device files on the fly and so could but is unlikely to
be the problem, polkit and udisks allow mounting, unmouting and
"querying" and are more likely candidates.

Probably easiest to check for a buglist for k3b or if it works on a
fresh install.

I have no idea why RTFM is used so aggressively on LINUX mailing lists
because whilst 'apropos' is traditionally the most powerful command on
Unix-like systems it's 'modern' replacement 'apropos' on Linux is a tool
to help psychopaths learn to control their anger.
