trouble with Brasero

I'm trying to create an audio CD with some flac files. My computer ejects the CD before Brasero starts burning, and Brasero gives me an error message.

I tried to make a cue file, also with Brasero, from those same flac files. I thought I'd try and make an audio CD from the cue file instead. Ufortunately, I get an "Error while burning" message. It goes on to say "GStreamer encountered a general stream error."

Any ideas?

This appears to be a known bug:

One option is to convert to MP3 and burn:

I would imagine using ogg may also work.

FLAC is lossless. The best is try another software. Like k3b or xfburn.

I hit the "burn" button right before reading your post Icaro! It's okay lol, I don't mind so much. I'll use k3b next time.

I used the "Convert to ogg" program. With the highest quality setting, the ogg file sizes were about 1/4 of flac.
