Which is documented in the standard and treated by Pioner this way since
1997 (I found it in february 1998), CDRDAO still has problems with this
behavior, so it looks like cdrdao is not well maintained.

Interesting, I never used ide-cd with a Pioneer drive before.
But the bad news is that people like Alan Cox and Linux Torvalds (who do not
understand the bachground for the problens with CD/DVD writing) are doing
their best to prevent Linux to be fixed. I did gave up after I found that
it makes no sense to try to convince them as you only can convince a person
that understands the topic.
If you find a better way to deal with the Linux kernel "crew", I would be happy!
