I don't see that this is related to DVD writing!
This is something that would need a rework. This is a quote of a 10 year old
part of ther manual page. speed=1 is definitely no longer senseful with current
drives. Most CD drives cannot write slower than 8x.
Also -audio is only needed in rare exceptions when you have RAW audio without
headers that allow cdrecord to find out that this is an audio file.
A few lines later...
To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run
cdda2wav dev=2,0 -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav
and then run
cdrecord dev=2,0 -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav

mented. In -clone mode, a single file contains all data for
the whole disk. To allow DVD writing on platforms that do
not implement large file support, cdrecord concatenates all
file arguments to a single track when writing to DVD media.
GENERAL OPTIONS
General options must be before any track file name or track
option.

As you see, this is not undocumented. As many people complain about the length
of the cdrecord man page, some of the featureas are documented in the shortest
possible way.
The problem here seem to be the authors of various FAQs that do not properly
read the man page. They create the impression in the readers that the FAQ
mentions the best method and that there is no other way...

If you have a DVD with intentionally unreadable sectors (some kind of childish
"copy protection"), you may always use "readcd -noerror ....", as long as the
software does not check whether these sectors are unreadable in the copy.
