See http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/cdwrite-200402/msg00094.html. Just like Plextor unit Lite-on apparently reports unit capability, rather than current recording speed... It remains to be seen if it's firmware deficiency or compliant behaviour. See the above URL for termporary work-around. A.
