I have seen something similar with k3b and cdrecord.  It was working 
fine until sometime recently (perhaps after I upgraded cdrtools?). Data 
cd's are being burned without a problem. I went to burn an audio cd with 
cd-text, and went I went to listen to it, it was just a pattern of 
noises. I tried again and had the same results. I do not have 
cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.1 installed, just cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1:

# cdrecord --version

this version.

Seeing the same thing with an Athlon XP 2800 and a PlexWriter CD-RW. Why 
do you have two versions of cdrecord install?
