[Bug 1203559] Re: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer

[Saikat Banerjee]

More info about the bug:

running wodim with strace shows that it tries to open all the drives
/dev/hda through /dev/hdz, then everything from /dev/scd0 through
/dev/scd255, and then it quits.

$ strace wodim --devices
http://pastebin.com/7AXsRa4s

If, however, I specify the path, then it is recognised. 
$ wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices

wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0  dev='/dev/sr0'	rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH22NS50'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

^^^ But this appears silly. :)
