[Bug 109211] feisty doesn't work with external CD writers anymore

[Wenzhuo Zhang]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

It seems that feisty doesn't work with external CD writers anymore. I
have tried two external USB CD writers: 1. TEAC DW-224E-B 1.6A; 2.
Samsung CD-RW/DVD Drive SM-348 + USB -> IDE adapter. Those same CD
writers work well with dapper and edgy.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert a blank CD-R or a CD-RW into the external cd writer.
2. Right click on a ISO image, and then click "Write to disc...". Click OK.
3. A window pops up immediately, asking me to insert a blank disc. See attached screenshot.
4. If I click OK, the same window will pop up again...

cdrecord(wodim) commandline also fails to work with external CD writers.
See the following command outputs.
