cdrecord's DAO mode is a bit of a hack.  Do you have .inf files 
available for all the .wav files you're trying to burn?  You need them 
if you're going to use -useinfo and/or -text.  Use cdrdao for writing 
in DAO mode, or write in TAO mode.

Also try writing at a slower speed, maybe 24x?  Burn-Poof doesn't work 
if you're writing in DAO mode IIRC.
