If you like to get a working version with full DVD functionality and without

As of the recent a26 version cdrecord simply doesn't burn anything on 
current Linux. The bugs preventing use as a normal user are still there, 
    
Any reason to spread this lie?
In former times, you have been a serious programmer. You seem to convert
into a troll :-(
Cdrecord runs just fine on any Linux I did try. The fact that you need
root privileges in order to run cdrecord on Linux is not a decision I made
but required by prople like Linux Torvalds.
