CDROMS="0,1,0 0,2,0 0,3,0"

for i in $CDROMS
do
        cdrecord $CDRECORD_ARGS dev=$i "$@" &
done

Use cdrecord -probe-scsi (or whatever it is ... don't have the man
page with me) to determine what CDROMS are.  You may want to increase
buffering as one of your cdrecord options.  64 or 128 meg are not
excessive, I find... just make sure that your choice of buffers
doesn't start everything swapping.

Remember: unix is a system whereby you assemble piplelines and scripts
of _simple_ programs to create complex behavior.  It's not necessary
to have a multi-cd tool when you can roll your own with your own
behavior.
