Hi ! Each time I try to burn an Audio CD in DAO mode using Cdrecord and my QSI Combo CD-writer (I tried speed=4,8,12,16) I receive an error as the one in the attached file and the CD writing process fails with the waste of a blank media (I disposed tons of useless blank CDs).
Everything works fine in TAO mode, though I need to use DAO in order not to have the silence gap between audio tracks. I am currently using a Redhat 9 distributions and a custom-compiled kernel 2.4.22. Cdrecord version is 2.01a19 but I also encounter the same problem with the original version supplied by Redhat. Any help/advice/patch would be greatly appreciated. Also, I wish to express a warm "thanks" to all the developers involved in the Cdrecord project for providing us this great piece of software. Regards, Guido
