The ASPI layer is pretty solid now, but still not bug for bug perfect.
There may still be some problems when a program tries to search for devices.
One thing you want to be sure of is that if it's an IDE burner you have
SCSI over IDE emulation on in your kernel. You want to make sure that the
burner shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi and you want to be sure that the
corresponding SCSI generic device has the correct permissions (i.e. you can
read and write to it). SCSI generic devices are assigned starting with the
letter a from the first entry in /proc/scsi/scsi.

I have always wanted to get another CD-R writing program working under
Wine. So far I have only used CDRWin. I would like to use Nero, but it
does me no good because my burner is not supported by it. Hopefully we can
get ASPI working well enough to support all of the CD-R programs under Wine.
