Bug#352429: O: cdrdao -- records CDs in Disk-At-Once (DAO) mode



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I'm orphaning cdrdao, since I actually don't need it any more (a
combination of bchunk, xine, daemon-tools, and effective dvd burning
on my desktop means that I no longer need to actually put this stuff
on CDs) and it's a real bitch to look after. Buyer beware, this
package is fundamentally unstable because it's taking a library
written by a lunatic and trying to wrap a new interface around
it. You're probably better off finding another way to solve your
problem instead of trying to maintain this thing.

The package description is:
 cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based
 on a textual description of the CD contents.
 .
 Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc,
 i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The
 commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track
 independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. You
 probably want to use this if you're copying a CD with multiple
 tracks, like most audio CDs.
 .
 cdrdao can also handle the bin/cue format commonly used for VCDs or
 disks with subchannel data.
 .
 If you just want to burn a normal data CD, you probably want cdrecord
 instead.
