Thank you for pointing to /usr/share/examples/atapi/{burndata,burnaudio}
and to /usr/share/examples/worm/burncd.sh. The docs didn't point explicitely
to wormcontrol(8) or I didn't find them right away ;-).
However, I'd still prefer to use cdrecord, since it supports much more
options and seems IMHO more flexible.

What would be the best FreeBSD-way to access such a IDE hostadapter over
the SCSI subsystem so that cdrecord would work? Isn't the scsi-passthru
'pass0' device appropriate for this?
Maybe a KLD-module would help? Is someone working on it? A low-level access
to SCSI and IDE would probably also be useful for other programs besides
cdrecord as well.
