I guess those DVD writers do not return EBUSY, and burncd returns before
the drive has finished blanking?

Are CD-R(W) drives, like my TEAC CD-W524E, buggy, not returning correct
sense information (progress)? Or is it a -maybe hard to find- software
bug?

Should I file a PR?


Thanks a lot for answering any of these questions...


PS. I added the atapicam driver to the kernel, and I now use cdrecord
for the job...
