Again, I'm pretty sure we can't roll back cdrecord for it breaks other things.

This was from Dave J.  I REALLY doubt there is a singular spec that all 
burners use.  Its different by manufacturer which is why we can't just 
say 'these commands are safe for all devices', it has to be on a per-device 
level and the kernel currently can't handle that.  Needs to be fixed in the 
upstream kernel.
