[Bug 237402] [NEW] Brasero cannot write to my cd drive

[Tim]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

This might not be a brasero bug, but I notice it most in that app. Basically, it doesn't recognize my cd drives ability to burn cds. I get this message: the medium is not writable with the current set of plugins.
With cdrecord, on the command line, I can burn things just fine. Trying to burn with "CD/DVD Creator" starts to work but then spits out the CD, saying that "there was an error writing to the disk". 
I think that what is happening is that the wrong settings are getting used. My drive is very old and only I think it only supports TAO mode. I think most programs assume the ability to do at least DAO or SAO now (which the drive reports it is able to do but I think I had a problem with that before). The drive is a Sony CDU-928E. Cdrecord says that it "seems to be a CDU924s."
It isn't a big deal, I clearly don't burn CDs that often, I just thought it might help to report it. I'm actually surprised that it took this long to stop being supported by most Linux apps as using this drive in Windows brings the system to its knees. 
Oh, and I'm using Hardy though I noticed this being a problem back in Feisty as well.
