Bug#374518: nautilus-cd-burner: cannot select proper burn speed for DVD+R media

[Andre Heynatz]

The discussion is quite entertaining, so much energy! Then it is easy to move to a
grand solution! The legal issues can be sorted out easily if Joerg joins debian-legal
for a short time and solves any issues there. Some bits of rhetorics might be
needed to make collaboration happen, though (I have read some threads already).

There needs to be a way for the kernel to provide drive state changes. Insertion
of an audio CD-ROM may lead to an audio player being started. Is it possible to
detect the Media ID of an empty medium? To determine burn speed, the system
(kernel/desktop) may need some special information. Calling cdrecord
would be one solution for this, but does it work on empty DVD media as well?
k3b can detect media if I poll it by pressing a button. I don't know how it
does the detection, though. It should be triggered by HAL (event-based). What do you
think?
