As mentioned before: growisofs does not correctly follow the SCSI standard
and as a result, it does not work with all drives. In addition, growisofs does
not know about firmware bugs and this also causes problems with some drives.
It's source is compiled using the C++ compiler, but inside it looks like
assembly. If the original author does no longer support it, more than small
changes are not worth being done.
I would be interested if anyone misses specific features from growisofs in
cdrecord.
