You don"t need this anymore.
Cdrecord does understand and convert the tags from the .inf files.

Partially right/wrong:
While the '-' is missing in the ISRC data in the subchannel data inside
a track, it _is_ present in the CD_text field in the TOC of the CD.

This is how all commercial CD's that I am aware of look like.

Why should I make the CDs created with cdrecorc look different from
commercial CD's?

This is just missing code in cdda2wav. Cdrecord will eventually
add automatically such a tag if all tracks contain the same information.

This looks like you writer has buggy firmware and thus creates broken
sub-channel data.

If the CD-Text is identical, then the writer is buggy.
