I finally moved the writer to hdd and could burn cd's using gtoaster.
When I burned a data cd in 12x gtoaster told me that speed was 8x in the 
console, but writes the cd sucessfully.
I could burn an audio CD at speed 16x using the Burn-proof flag but burning 
at 24x without the flag crashed ...
Think I'll try direct cdrecord use once I've bought a mountain of cd's !

Thanks a lot for your explanations
