SRU Justification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Impact:

  Currently Brasero will fail to write files to a disc in on-the-fly
  mode using the libburnia plugin resulting in 'coastered' media.
  This is the default mode of operation and unless the user is writing
  a pre-built ISO image, this fails 100% of the time and has since Oneiric
  -- possibly Natty.

Fix:

  Complete/fix part of the following commit:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/commit/?id=1b8397ee252df2d554682ca2d694d5937fbf6e39

  Particularly the change to plugins/libburnia/burn-libisofs.c around line
  200 that hoisted the priv->libburn_src->read_xt() call out of the if() statement
  should have actually removed it instead of duplicating it. 

Patch:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/commit/?id=253031b69c5dcbcf079c445ec530afb7ccd9ea82

Test Case:

  * Insert blank CD or DVD in drive:

    (1) Attempt to write files to the writable optical disc by dragging
    files from Nautilus to a blank disc.

    (2) Click on the 'Write Files to Disc' button in nautilus.

    (3) Make sure 'on the fly' mode is enabled by selecting 'Burn image
    directly without saving to disc' (which should be the default).

    (4) Click on the 'burn' button.

  * If the bug is fixed, you should have a properly written and readable
  disc.  Otherwise, the procedure will fail and the disc will be unusable.

Binary package hint: brasero

When I burn a DVD (4,7 and 8,5 GB) Brasero show the progressbar till
about 30-40% (exact point is randomly) and than says, that it is
finalizing the media. This finalizing messages is showing for the rest
of the burning process (~10min @8x 8,5GB). After that, it ejects the
media without any error. But when I insert the media again, nothing
happens, except, that the DVD-Drive disappears from the "computer:///"
location in nautilus.

This problem only exists when burning On-The-Fly. Burning ISO Images or
automatic creation of ISO Images before burning works without problems.
The burning speed doesn't matter to this problem. I test 8x, 4x and 2x.
All the same problem. On-The-Fly burning using K3B works quite well @8x
speed.

One thing I also notice is, that Brasero uses 100% CPU on one core,
while K3B uses just about 5-15%.

I attached the last Brasero log. I don't know, why it just says, that it
was only at 49% and then says it's finished. The burning took about 28
minutes. The media was unusable on all my three devices (Linux/Windows).
