(I'm talking about data, here, not audio as the last guy > was). sdd is simply a much improved dd (one of the best features that it doesn't need a continous stream, which is hard to do on cd's). cdrecord simply takes a file and burns it onto the cd, what's in it doesn't matter (you could burn a cd with an ext2 filesystem, iso filesystem, or something from /dev/null for all it cares). So, yes, cdrecord will burn sdd's output. If the cdrom drive you're ripping from is at least in the vicinity of 2 fold faster at ripping audio than you want to burn, you might try piping sdd into cdrecord.
