Hmm, never tried it myself so I don't know wether it works or not, but what
about enabling CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD in the kernel and let tar write to the
device directly?
Like:
modprobe pktcdvd
pktsetup backup /dev/cdrom
tar -cMvf /dev/pktcdvd/backup myfiles # Change disc when prompted
pktsetup -d backup
rmmod pktcdvd
Bye...
