...if i get your question right (with a risk i tell you things you know 
already)

under sarge:

install as root *dvd+rw-tools*    aptitude install etc. etc
then do as $  man growisofs and this help_file really helps you further.

install as well *cdrecord*
i do not know which kernel you are using. if you use a 4.4.x kernel:

do as root *cdrecord -scanbus* to get the *scsi-codes* of your burning 
device(s).
look further at the *man cdrecord* file.
if you use a 2.6.x kernel *just* do (if you start burning) cdrecord 
/dev/hdx/ -data/-audio and the rest.

to get some exercise   use the -dummy option to get the hunch of it.

hope this is of some help.

good luck,
