Package: brasero
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: important


Having empty CD-ROM in the drive, brasero says about it: the medium is not writable, and reports its size to be 17179869184,0 GB. The CD is normal, k3b 
sees its correct 702,8 MB size, and is able to burn it. Also brasero on another Debian testing machine reports that it's ok.

wodim --devices reports this (correct) CD-RW information about the burner I have.

wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0  dev='/dev/hdd'      rwrw-- : 'TSSTcorp' 'CD/DVDW SH-S162L'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm really sure what shall I change in the system to make brasero work. Even as it used to be bonfire, it worked some times and didn;t work other 
times, never knew why. K3b works all the time, flawlessly.
