Before sending a PR, I would like to ask about the state of burncd. It is not working properly for me. My hardware is a AMD64 based system with A NEC ND 3500AG/2.19 and a DELL Optiplex 280/i386 with a HP 1100 (both drives DVD+-RW). Burning DVD+RW is ok on formated media. Formatting DVD+RW is never stopping, seems to get stuck on both platforms, but when hitting Ctr-C and stopping the wicked up process (burncd -v -f /dev/acd0 format dvd+rw), the media seems to be already formatted and useable. Burning CD-RW and CD-Rs with burncd does not work, the media get not 'closed' or 'fixate'd at the end although I explicitely try to fixate ist. Instead, I use 'cdrecord' to fixate the media and after that they work. In the mentioned DELL system, the DVD+-RW got changed due to a hardware failure and is now another model. So I'm really sure this is not a hardware problem but a software problem. I know burncd lacks in several functions, but I do not know whether it is marked 'broken' or working. I wonder if others do not have similar problems. cdrecord is an alternative, but burncd is due to its easier 'sudo' handling in multiuser environments the more desired utility. Thanks for your hints, comments and suggestions.
