[GLLUG] CD-RW problems

[Todd Torrey]

I'm having a difficult time burning audio CD's using cdrecord.
I have a Plextor 48x writer, which works fine when burning
data CD's, but when I try to burn an audio CD's I get a I/O
write error.
I'm using version 2.0 of cdrecord. I've also googled the problem
and didn't come up with a definitive answer, so maybe you all
have a solution.
Here is the command I used, followed by the output: (dummy
record for test purposes)

cdrecord -dummy -v dev=0,0,0 -dao -useinfo -text *.wav
