Hal missdetect my cd burner

[Sebastien ESTIENNE]

hello
i have noticed a regression between 0.3 and 0.5
hal used to find the capabilities of my cd burner, but now fails to see 
the fact that it can also write cd

here is the output of dmesg:

i'm using hal 0.5.3 from ubuntu.
he is the specific par of lshal:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CD_R55S'
   info.addons = {'hald-addon-storage'} (string list)
   storage.policy.desired_mount_point = 'cdrom'  (string)

   info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CD_R55S'  (string)

   info.category = 'storage'  (string)
   info.product = 'CD-R55S'  (string)

   storage.removable = true  (bool)
   storage.physical_device =

   storage.vendor = 'TEAC'  (string)
   storage.model = 'CD-R55S'  (string)
   storage.automount_enabled_hint = true  (bool)
   storage.media_check_enabled = true  (bool)
   storage.no_partitions_hint = true  (bool)
   storage.bus = 'scsi'  (string)
   block.is_volume = false  (bool)
   block.minor = 0  (0x0)  (int)
   block.major = 11  (0xb)  (int)
   block.device = '/dev/scd0'  (string)
   linux.hotplug_type = 3  (0x3)  (int)
   info.parent =

(string)
   linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/sr0'  (string)
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/sr0'  (string)



this line is wrong:
   storage.cdrom.cdr = false  (bool)
should be true

any idea?

thanx
