I tried putting the value 8m (to indicate 8MB) for the FIFO buffer so that these programmes can pass it on to cdrecord. This did not seem to make a difference, though, and with about 45 seconds to go my HDD would start churning and my FIFO buffer would run down to 0. I have also tried slowing the burn speed to 6x (from 8x) and burning from a CD image, only to get the same result. Could the problem be with my configuration rather than the application settings?
