I don't think so. cdrecord uses the real time scheduling class. A process belonging to this class gets as much cpu time, as it demands. This is cdrecords strategy to avoid buffer underruns. Maybe you can turn this feature off somehow. What you can do is run cdrecord with less privileges. Only root is allowed to put processes into the real time scheduling class. -alf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
