Do you really believe that you are able to deflect from the main problem: 

The original sources do not have such bugs and many Debian users that 
did write bug reports against the Debian version of cdrtools did already
switch to a self compiled original source in order to get a working cdrecord.

Why don't you read my reply?

I did never claim that cdrecord is free of bugs, but it works out of the box
on Linux while the version Debian publishes does not because Debian introduced
bugs into cdrtools that are not present in the original.

See bugs caused by Debian's malicious patches:

374685, 297027, 309250, 330506, 347596, 360295, 295593, 297514, 392803, 309812,
317793, 325766, 328308, 330180, 339459, 335253, 335253, 350330, 350342, 370603,
374345, 377069, 377421, 377588, 

Problems cause by the fact that Debian is unmaintained and does not use recent 
cdrecord original versions:

302717, 293953, 295698, 347596, 372486, 330180, 330459, 350330, 350342, 377069,
377421, 249621, 

Problems caused by the fact that malicious Linux kernel people crippled the 
Linux kernel interfaces to the disadvantage of cdrtsools:

310689, 147504, 234013, 295698, 150113, 335253, 350330, 350342, 377069, 377421,
381137, 

Bugs that newer have been present, that may be caused by defective drives or have 
been fixed long ago in the original. Note that the fact that the Debian bug list 
still contains these "bugs" verifies that the Debian Maintainer is not doing real 
work but the only goal of Debian is to steal my time by pulling me into useless 
discussions: 

262486, 143963, 278071, 288091, 292381, 299562, 306073, 307274, 311181, 312062, 
340429, 342085, 360496, 360831, 

Note that some of the bugs from the last category have been posted because 
Debian gives wrong usage advise to their users (advise that contradicts the 
official documentation).
