WRONG

Nobody did ever give support for bastardized cdrecord versions.
This has nothing to do with cdrecord-ProDVD but with the fact that
the makers of the bastardized patches do not even care if the patch
works at all :-(

Again: What is your problem except from the fact that you did not read
the documentation and thus use wrong parameters that result in a
warning?
What driver options do you expect to appear?
Note that you did use the subject "speed problems"......
