[SOLVED] Mounting DVDs under a specific name via HAL?

Hello again.

I'd like to setup HAL to mount all my CDs and DVDs under a certain (always same) name, such as "/media/optical_disc". By default, HAL mounts them like "/media/<volume_label>".
If someone could shed some light on this (and perhaps recommend me some further readings), I'd be most grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone... sorry for the delay and for resurrecting the old topic. I've been away for a while, and now I've managed to get what I want.
I've created a new HAL policy file (in /etc/hal/fdi/policy) called 20-disc.fdi, which contains the follwing configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
   <match key="volume.is_disc" bool="true">
    <merge key="volume.label" type="string">disc</merge>
   </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

From now on, every optical disc I insert into my computer will be mounted under /media/disc. Voila, desired effect achieved!
Thanks everyone for the help.
