[ale] More Lightscribe for Linux

[Jeff Hubbs]

Circular labels that get applied with a centering press might be 
iffy...I'm not keen on the idea.  A tiny misalignment, an air bubble 
(you don't want some part of the disc developing lift!), or even a 
variation in adhesive or paper thickness across the width or the label 
would be very bad.  I try to distribute my Sharpie marks across both 
sides of the hole. :)
