Haven't tried this one, but:
dd if=/dev/cdrom1 of=/dev/stdout bs=1048576|cdrecord dev=???? speed=?? -v
-xa2 /dev/stdin
(try it with the -dummy flag first as I've never done this!)
You may have to work with a named pipe (more likely to work)
something like this:
mkfifo /tmp/cdimage
dd if=/dev/cdrom1 of=/tmp/cdimage bs=1048576 & cdrecord dev=???? speed=??
-v -xa2 /tmp/cdimage
rm /tmp/cdimage
(again, use the -dummy flag until you're pretty sure it will work).
note that /tmp/cdimage never exists on the disk, a named pipe is entirely
virtual.
Good luck, let me know if this works.
