Sound Juicer error messages are useless.

Link to original bug (#395305)
Description
If there is a problem with cdparanoia, Sound Juicer produces an error dialog: "Could not open cd device for reading" followed by a pipeline error dialog, and then crashes. A much more useful dialog would be:
"Could not open cd device for reader
An error occurred while attempting to extract your CD. The most likely causes for this is that your kernel does not support SCSI emulation or that your Generic SCSI devices aren't enabled. You can..."
-OR- "Extraction Failed
Sound Juicer received the following error from the GStreamer subsystem: "Could not open cd device for reader". You can file a bug by clicking here or go to www.sound-juicer.foo/wiki.php?msg=Errors/Could_not... to see any common solutions to this problem." (The latter would require a wiki but would be way cool.)
Either one of these options could save the user a wasted afternoon on Google.
