If you tested a burn using cdrecord you could eliminate any problems with X front ends like X-CD-Roast, gtoaster etc.

It is straightforward:

1. Check your cd-writer's scsi id with cdrecord -scanbus (eg 0,0,0)

2. Create a test iso image (of eg /home/chris/xml-docs/) with mkisofs:
mkisofs -R test-image.iso /home/chris/xml-docs/

3. Record the CDR with cdrecord:
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -eject test-image.iso

4. Repeat step 3 for different speeds.

More details in man mkisofs and man cdrecord
