Hi all,

I noticed that -tao mode is no longer working on my hardware since
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu

Everything worked fine with a previous version. Here is my system:
P3 933MHz running gentoo (current).

Linux bytecruncher 2.6.8-gentoo-r10 #1 Wed Oct 20 16:42:31 EDT 2004 i686
Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

It is not likely to be a hardware/media problem. Both worked before with
following command, but not anymore

bytecruncher sg # mkisofs -J -r -D -udf SH104/|cdrecord-wrapper.sh
-dev=/dev/hdc -fs=16m -v -driveropts=burnfree -speed 4 -tao -v -

It recorded proper, readable DVD+Rs with exactly the same command
on previous versions. Nothing else changed since than (it's running the
same kernel, the same glibc and gcc, and it's still an old session)
