That seems to be the point to me. I noticed the same behaviour of hal
with my approx. 7 years old LITE ON LTR12101B. With nautilus cd burner
version 2.14.1 I still could burn cds. This version contained a non hal
fallback code for older cd burners that do not support the GET
CONFIGURATION command which is part of the mmc-2 spec. As hal seems to
rely on the GET CONFIGURATION command I suppose that my burner is a
mmc-1 one. I hope the hal developers don't consider these burners to be
too old to support them as one of linux' advantages was that it
supported older hardware.
