Mark Heath asked about a Disk At Once CDR driver in July (Issue 30) and described different kinds of CDR sessions in August (Issue 31). The following was found in the comp.os.linux.announce newsgroup, and should be very useful to those who've been following this thread...

Mark,
Hopefully this package will fit your needs. Please consider writing up a review of it and submitting that to Linux Journal and/or Linux Gazette.

This is the first release of cdrdao - a tool for writing audio CD-Rs in disc-at-once mode. Currently only the Philips CDD2600 writer is supported but it may work with other Philips writers, too. Contributions for other CD writers are welcome.
Features:
- variable pre-gap length (down to zero)
- non zero audio data in pre-gaps
- control over sub-channel information like ISRC code, pre-emphasis
- tracks may be composed of several audio files
- support for audio CD copy
