It's very useful, thanks

Playing with k3b, which is very nice, and my CDRW drive this is what I
think we need to expose:

 volume.disc.type = cdrom|cdr|dvdrom|dvd_r|...
 volume.disc.is_rewriteable = TRUE|FALSE
 volume.disc.is_appendable = TRUE|FALSE
 volume.disc.is_empty = TRUE|FALSE
 volume.disc.has_audio = TRUE|FALSE

Bastien, others, does this make more sense than my earlier proposal?
