Thanks to Rodney for the previous suggestions.

Having tried those unsucessfully, I thought that the problem might lie 
with the Debianised version of cdrecord. I compiled the latest Jörg 
Schilling version (http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html) 
and had exactly the same problem. If it is a bug, it is also in the 
original version so I might try there for enlightenment. The only other 
thing I can think of is that it might be a hardware issue.

I would still like to know whether anyone has been able to burn a 
multi-track audio CD in Debian recently.

Chris.
