I can't confirm that cdrecord is broken in general. I compiled the current sources of cdrecord 2.0.1 (http://freshmeat.net/redir/cdrecord/35795/url_tgz/cdrtools-2.01.tar.gz) and the resulting cdrecord binary works perfectly in edgy after copying it to /usr/bin/
So after all the ubuntu package seems to contain a broken cdrecord binary.
