The fix is approx. 1 month old....

I would call this behavior of dvd+rw-tools a bug as the CAM standard
requires auto-sense to work. If FreeBSD is fixed, the modified
dvd+rw-tools will stop working in case it correctly evaluates
error codes.

Cdrecord works perfectly with this drive. You howver need a working
kernel if you like to use cdrecord.....because cdrecord evaluates
error codes and the SCSI protocol is a protocol that relies on correct
"error codes" that simply provide a way to return some special status back
to the application.
