1. There might be users, who want DAE (digital audio extraction),
especially those, who burn audio-CDs. You need a pretty new CD-Rom
in order to be DAE capable.
2. You can't buy a 4x drive today in any shop.
3. A 4x drive can hardly be considered a standard piece of hardware
Joerg does not develop for Linux, Linux is one of his 30 supported
platforms for cdrecord. If he decides to drop Linux support, there
would be absolutely no alternative in cdrecording. I'm under the
impression, that neither Alan, nor anyone else understands what Joerg
is saying and/or does not care (because his old 4x drive runs).
I'm not a developer, I don't understand Joerg either ;-)
But you and Alan gave me some very interesting insights, I'm grateful
for that.
Kind regards Frederick
