I do not have any problems with resmgr/hal ATM (SUSE Linux 10.0). Although 
hal [seems to] probes more often than once/3sec, it did not interrupt any 
of my cd writing processes. Maybe that's already a feature of cdrecord*, I 
don't know.
(With an older drive (AOpen CRW1232), the whole IDE bus was even 
blocked when blanking, leaving no option but to wait.)
