Hello.

Please forgive a tyro's participation.

I, too, am running Debian GNU/Linux testing and have run into the same
issue on my wife's system -- the only one in our house using a
USB-connected CD/DVD writer. As of the most recent upgrade of xfburn
from 0.4.3-3 to 0.4.3-4 the system doesn't list her external Sony writer
as available for writing. It also appears that brasero has lost interest
in using the external writer.

All other functions -- mounting written discs and reading them -- appear
to be intact.

I see no messages from Xfburn in .xsession-errors.

If I might provide any other information that could be useful, please
let me know.

Regards,
Gilbert

The udevadm output is listed below.

# udevadm info --name=/dev/sr2 --query=all
