that the disc is not guaranteed to work in every cd audio player.
It should also be noted that the red book spec was created 20+ (?) years
ago. At the time it was a statistical marvel. It allowed a lot of slop in
the manufacturing process of CDs and the design of players. As long as the
spec was followed a wide tolerance of discs could play in any machine.

Since Joerg took the time to give you steps to try your writer, I would
certainly check if you can write <90 min audio, and if so if it plays in
a normal CD player.
I presume that if Joerg says "wait for raw data" that capability is
coming, and if you can write audio you will be able to write data in the
future. I would be too curious to wait.
