I have just verified that bug 226019 is still a problem. With cdrecord from 
home:/hennichodernich/ on 11.1 I am not able to burn a cd, unless I kill
hald-addon-storage. I could reproduce it with all LG devices that I tested.
This particular device was 'DVDRAM GSA-U10N '.

Also, cdrecord from that package is installed with suid root. I am quite sure 
that our security team won't like it.
