You could try something like
mkfifo /tmp/sleazy-hack
readcd dev=x,y f=/tmp/sleazy-hack &
cdrecord [options] /tmp/sleazy-hack
It's a trifle perverse, but it should work. I used a trick like
this last week, as an experimental way of burning a multi-track
CD from a set of .mp3 files without having to go to .wav or .cdr
format on disk. It worked, amazingly enough!
