Why do you believe that an extremely outdated version from cdrecord
where somebody even added bugs could become more popular than the official
maintained software? If you don't know this, wodim _is_ an extremely outdated
cdrecord where some people added bugs that never have been in the original.
The answer is that some Linux distributions try to force their users to use the
defective fork instead of the original because they don't like to cooperate
with the author.
Get a recent original from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
and make sure to install cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav suid root.
Note that even the mkisofs variant from the fork (called genisoimage) is full
of nasty bugs that cause filesystem inconsisties. Linux may ignore these
filesystem inconsisties.... but if you like to use your media on other platorms
or even with future Linux versions you should prefer maintained original
software.
The "cdrkit" project is dead since more than 8 months and it had only 8 months
of speudo activities.... do not bet on a dead horse.
