growisofs for cd-RW and DVD-RW?

[Rob Bogus]

Is there a tool like growisofs which workds with CD-R and/or DVD-R? I 
have had no problem using cdrecord and dvdrecord, but growisofs looked 
like a convenient tool to reduce the effort of multisession. I have no 
problem with dvdrecord other than it seeming to use PIO instead of DMA 
for burning, and taking far too many CPU cycles. cdrecord seems to burn 
CDs using DMA but whines about burning DVDs.

Am I missing something with dvdrecord, or do I have to apply the kernel 
patch to make it work? There's a push to use stock kernels for this, so 
I very much don't want to choose that fight, slow and CPU intensive is 
better than commiting to providing custom kernels indefinitely.

Common and standard drive, updated to the latest firmware a few days 
ago. Since it never tries to write and the media works fine with other 
software, "use better media" doesn't seem useful.

 It seemed like a good idea at the time
