I have not tried stock .30 kernel, I did try .32-rc2 vanilla and still no go. 
I can test .30 however this week.

Listen, I don't care about that who forked what. if wodim or cdrecord is 
broken in design, then it's time for a cdrecord-ng and start over please.  I 
don't want to see this bickering anymore.

We're just damaging users. We really should not be rehashing CD/DVD burning 
issues over again when there's much, much more pressing issues that need to be 
fixed.

Joerg, For one thing, I want to be able to access the burner devices with 
their proper /dev name. Just like any other sane unix tool like, even dd. (you 
used to resist this idea if I remember correctly on MLs) not the SCSI bus IDs, 
honestly, what are you trying to achieve here?? make it EASY for users, not 
harder.

Also, maybe if you cooperated a little better we can clean up this stinking 
pile of mess. 

Sincerely,  
Shawn.
