Actually, paranoia has it's own mailing list, although the credits in cdrecord mention that some of the ripping code originated in the cdparanoia library.

It's a general list for discussion of all CD and DVD writing software, although in practice, it's just for Unix-type systems. It just happens to be hosted by Debian.Thanks.Don't let the flame wars get to you... wodim is just as much on-topic here as cdrecord is, and each one has its place.Oh, I'm used to flame wars, but not so used to paranoia.
I'm on the list, not on this machine, and would get you an address if you (a) want to join and (b) can't easily find it.
You didn't mention cdrskin, that has some cdrecord compatibility modes, but will work in Linux without being root. I did recently discover that it has limitations doing odd raw burns, but that's not a usual requirement, and it politely says "I can't do that" instead of doing it wrong.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.
Perhaps someone who is not an author of an engine could update and improve that. A neutral third party.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?
