Support for old CD-RW drives

[David Castelow]

I noticed that nautilus-cd-burner was not working on a recent update of 
Ubuntu.

There are a number of people complaining about the lack of support for old 
cdrw drives out there (e.g. Ubuntu bugs 109763 and 66254).

(I am using Feisty, with the backport of HAL 0.5.9)

I have traced the error to the fact that in the old version of n-c-d 
(2.14.3), if the call to HAL failed, it would determine the disc type using 
an alternative method, but this has been removed in recent versions.

Rather than re-instate the functionality in n-c-d, I moved the changes into 
HAL: would you consider accepting the attached patch that sorts this out.

I have built this into the Ubuntu package and it works ok for me, though not 
fully tested as I haven't got a DVD that needs this feature.
