Public bug reported:
I'm using an Edgy-beta install on my laptop with a Freecom 24B external
usb cd-writer. When I try to write a cd image through nautilus (right
click iso file -> write to disc...) the dialog option of write speed has
1764 options to choose from. Starting at 11.7x repeating 15 times, then
11.6x 15 times etc.
I am still able to burn discs ok.
Here is the abbreviated output from /usr/lib/nautilus-cd-burner/list_cddrives

Notice that the speed is stepping down in single KiB/s. This is probably
undesirable. I'll gladly provide any more details.
Thanks
