Ok, my final conclusion on splitpipe: it compiles but won't work for me.
I've produced about a dozen coasters while having tried some
combinations of two different machines/arches (x86, amd64, both with
stable core packages), two different burners (trusty last millennium
HP CD-Writer+ 9100 series and newish el cheapo LG branded
do-everything hyper-duper-combo thingie), two different tars (GNU tar
and star) and two different pieces of burning software (cdrkit and
cdrtools).
Consistently, the failure is at the end of the first volume (disc),
where splitpipe must have been writing some broken bytes at the end of
the volume (possibly miscalculating something first?) -- which it
realizes when it does the reading (as joinpipe) and then there's the
barf ("Fatal:" probably from splitpipe) and then bad input propagates
to tar/zip/others which join in in the mass-barfing contest:
UUID of this session is '35a141883a219349 0c2b7efad2ffdaf7'
joinpipe: volume was started on Sun Jul 13 16:38:38 EEST 2008
joinpipe: found volume 1, as expected
star: WARNING: skipping leading '/' on filenames.
Fatal: during read of a stretch of input: Input/output error
star: Tar file too small (amount: 101 bytes).
star: Unexpected EOF on input.
star: Cannot recover from error - exiting.
star: 68552 blocks + 5733 bytes (total of 701978213 bytes = 685525.59k).
