My memory is rusty here, but I thought that a TUR was the canonical way 
to test if the operation is complete, and get progress as a side effect.
I see that until rev 1.85, this function used a plain REQUEST_SENSE, 
which was definitely wrong.  There has to be some way that a 
WHQL-qualified disc burner will report this information reliably.
