Not quite sure I fully understood that so I'll ask one more 
question...

Looking at /etc/cdrecord/cdrecord I find..

# This file is /etc/default/cdrecord
# It contains defaults that are used if no command line option
# or environment is present.
#
# The default device, if not specified elswhere
#
CDR_DEVICE=yamaha

Do I change that to my Teac CD-W58E burner or do I change something 
further down the config file ? ...

# Unless you have a good reason, use speed == -1 and let
# cdrecord use it's intercal drive specific defaults.
#
# drive name    device  speed   fifosize driveropts
