I did not argue against cdrdao for this reason. If people like to use a 
tool like cdrdao that has a less complete cue sheet support than cdrecord
let them use it. If people like to use a tool like cdrdao that has a more 
cryptic user interface than cdrecord (because it forces you to learn cue 
sheets even for very simple recording caes) let people do this.


The real problem with cdrdao is that it is based on a very outdated version of 
libscg and that it does not know about Solaris fine grained priveleges.
Another problem is that it has not really been enhanced since more than 2 years.

You should try to find out whether you really get extra value or whether 
you just do another step to turn Solaris into a software cemetery ;-)
