I was running xcdroast using and ATAPI Yamaha CD-R with kernel 2.0.33
sans patches. Even though the program reported errors at the end of
fixating, the CDs seemed fine. I could mount them and read the data no
problem. 2.0.34 got rid of the errors, but no change in 'quality' was
noticed, since there really wasn't a problem before.
Unfortunatlely, xcdroast won't allow the copying of music CDs under SCSI
host adapter emulation. I think this must be a problem with cdrecord,
since xcdroast is just a GUI front end for cdrecord.
