I have built David's patch with hal-0.5.8.1 as shipped with Feisty 7.04 and can verify it fixes my problem (I can now burn discs on this Frankenputer). This is a near virgin install, and the only system component I have built is HAL, approximately as described above. If I get time tomorrow, I'll log the bug and a pointer to the fix with FreeDesktop.org, as that seems to be the official upstream escalation path (there's no separate HAL point of contact, and there's a bunch of similar bug reports (and fixes) already on FD.O:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__all__&product=hal&content=CDROM+blank+burn+volume.disc.capacity ). Hopefully that will flush this bug once and for all.
