You can buy new burners for about $30 ($40 for a 24-40x) that can easily
handle 700MB discs. If you have a burner that can't (as 700MB discs are
the now defacto standard and almost completly replace 650s)), it's
either very buggy or total junk. That extra 50MB per disc won't take
too much
, but it is.

The problem is very easy to fix. Go back to the OSS
module like it was before.
In this case I'd agree with the last statement.
I'm working to see WHAT is causing the problem, and it would appear that arts
is indeed blocking what should be let through (or at least was with OSS).

Hmmm,
is it just me or is it odd that cooker skips automake 1.5?
Quite a few KDE apps look at automake, and if it's 1.4 they reject it because
it's 1.5, BUT if they see 1.6, they reject it because it != 1.5.
Is it possible to get 1.5 working at all with the dependencies?
