The output file span1.01 is then in CDR format, which you can directly
burn with cdrecord.

It's probably been idiot-proofed by way of dumbing it down to an
extent where it's no longer a usable tool for those who know what they
want to do.

I had a row with the nero-people once because their burner point-blank
refused to burn an ext2 filesystem image to DVD with the "burn image to
disk" function... and the Mickey-head in the lab told me "have you
heard of joliet? that's what you should be using, it does everything
one would want to do"... ROTFL. Different issue, but similar nature.

Unfortunately KDE has almost 100% copied Redmond and only detects file
types by extensions. In the case of the audio-CD format there are no
headers or other identifiable parts in the file, and no universally
recognised 3-letter acronym commonly used as extension. Therefore
/usr/bin/grep is a valid CDR file (it'll sound terrific!). That's why I
think there's a good chance k3b isn't able to burn CDR files (or it
expects an extension which you haven't yet tried), to prevent the
clueless from listening to grep. Please file a bug report / ehancement
with k3b :)

As Rex pointed out, these days cdrecord can burn .wav files directly,
though it's always looked very silly to me to rip CDs to .wav (swapping
all the bytes), then burning the .wav to CD (swapping all the bytes
again). But then I was on a 486 when I made wav2cdr...
