Oh, I'm used to flame wars, but not so used to paranoia.

I do have a question, though.  I know about cdrecord, wodim, and
dvd+rw-tools.  But are there any other CD/DVD writing engines out their?
Ones with source code, that is.

I don't mean alternate front ends, but engines.  Is there a good site
with a feature matrix?  This site, though amusing, does not have one:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdrecord

One more bit of more sour amusement:

   http://www.arklinux.org/projects/dvdrtools/

   This page is temporarily down because of spammer attacks; until it
   comes back, you can download dvdrtools from svn ...

Now who would do a thing like that?
