Never used that file:)
When I toast a CD, I use command line cdrecord:
mkisofs $OPTIONS |cdrecord -speed=32 -dev=/dev/hdc -v
This takes advantage of 2.6 support for ATAPI CD writing, rather than
emulating a SCSI device. Whatever GUI frontend you use, if any, needs
to call the cdrecord backend appropriately (with such an -dev
argument, not the /dev/scsi_emulated_cd_drive one).
