[Bug 1203559] Re: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer

[Sam Mingolelli]

Ran into the same problem on Fedora 19.  The posted workaround worked
there too:

$ wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices

As an alternative that always worked was to use `-prcap` instead though.

$ wodim -prcap
wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
