Comment 1 for bug 510505

This bug report is not against cdrecord but against a broken fork.

The specific problem mentioned in the bug report has never been
in cdrtools (the original software). The problem mentioned in the
bug report results from incorrectly interfacing to hald in the fork.

I recommend you to install recent original software to fix the problem:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/

Make sure to install cdrecord/cdda2wav/readcd suid root, as features
from Linux that could help to avoid the need for suid root binraies
have been disabled in Ubuntu.
