Hi,
I'm coming in to this discussion a little late, but have the same issue.
My goal in adding to this discussion is to add some additional
searchable information to the bug report. Some details:

This is a garden variety four year old burner for which a firmware
upgrade is available:
http://www.teac.co.jp/dspd/download/firmware/cd-w512eb/explain.html
This bug has been cropping up in various manifestations for several
years and most people find a workaround and move on. it would be nice
to address it properly, rather than pass the buck to some other
component. I have a Sony drive I can swap in which might fix my
problem, and I can try any of the fixes listed. But as a new Ubuntu
user I found it hard to credit that something so fundamental could be
broken out of the box and have been that way on and off for some years.
If anyone wants some additional debugging information, please let me
know soon as I have work to do and will need to start reconfiguring this
box soon to get a working setup. Any help patching and rebuilding hal
or otherwise adding defensive code to some other component would be
appreciated -- I am new(ish) to Linux, but have been working with UNIX
systems since 1983.
Tony.
