cdrecord: failure in auto-formatting DVD+RW Verbatim media on USB-TSSTcorp
==== System data
OS: Linux 2.4.33
cdrecord: 2.01.01a55
Burner
Vendor_info : 'TSSTcorp'
Identifikation : 'CDDVDW SE-S224Q '
Revision : 'TS01'
Media (marketing name "DVD+RW Verbatim 4x")
Manufacturer: 'MKM'
Media type: 'A02'
==== Problem
cdrecord won't automatically format maiden medium, it seems it doesn't even
try (the messages are different, usually it says "..in real format mode..."
or similar).
manually using "-force -format" will format the medium correctly.
cdrecord will format medium OK if it's in an USB LG burner.
I cannot test different media on TSSTcorp burner for now.
I'm attaching output of:
1) -v -minfo
2) cdrecord dev=3,0,0 -data -v driveropts=burnfree -sao test123.iso
-> fails to autoformat
3) cdrecord dev=3,0,0 -force -format
-> formats ok
