We might wrongly call detect_media() on an audio CD, can't remember
and I don't have the sources in front of me, that might be it; care to
test if not calling detect_media() for audio CD's solve this?

What does 'faster' means here?

What's does 'very long time' mean here? Is this with or without media
in your drives? Try without and let us know.

Also try doing 'time hald --daemon=no' and then terminate with Ctrl+C
when detection is done - for all we know it might be slow for other
reasons :-)

Thanks,
David
