With the messages you send, it cannot be cdrecord but either your drive
or the Linux kernel.
One interesting point is that cdrecord is unable to do a DMA speed test.
THis may have different reasons and without knowing the reason, I cannot
say more...
You may try to call cdrecord -v -checkdrive -V
and have a look at the SCSI read buffer command.
You also may try to reduce the transfer size to 16 kb by adding "ts=16k"
to the command line in hope that it is a driver bug that goes away with smaller
transfer sizes.
