sdd is simply a much improved dd (one of the best features that it doesn't
need a continous stream, which is hard to do on cd's). cdrecord simply
takes a file and burns it onto the cd, what's in it doesn't matter (you
could burn a cd with an ext2 filesystem, iso filesystem, or something from
/dev/null for all it cares). So, yes, cdrecord will burn sdd's output. If
the cdrom drive you're ripping from is at least in the vicinity of 2 fold
faster at ripping audio than you want to burn, you might try piping sdd
into cdrecord.
