Some people seem to have luck with xcdroast and things like that, but here
is all I have ever needed to know about cdrecord:

---------------------------------------

Command line burning - Data 

1- Create a temporary directory from which the ISO's files will be read.
2- Insert files into that directory as desired
3- From a directory outside of the tempoary ISO directory run

   mkisofs -f -R -r -l -J -V volid -A appid -P pubid -o dest.iso src 

or just: 

   mkisofs -f -R -r -l -J -o dest.iso src

        -f
        -J makes it more windows compatible
        -r -R makes the ownership of files to stay same?
        -l follow symbolic links

            volid = volume ID to be written into the master block; 
            appid = application contained within the ISO; 
            pubid = names the publisher of the ISO (CD-ROM)
            dest.iso = the destination filename of the newly created ISO image; 
            src = temporary ISO directory containing the files

4- See man mkisofs

5- Writing an ISO to a CD-ROM using cdrecord

            cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 src.iso 
or
            cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=1,0,0 src.iso 

use cdrecord -scanbus to find the correct device numbers

      src.iso = source filename of the ISO you are burning to the CD-ROM

--------------------------------------

writing wav files to CD (must be wav I think)

1- put all the wav files into a directory

2- make sure files are named in an order that will ensure they are in the
order desired

3- issue: (must be root) (dev= see above)
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=1,0,0 -pad -dao -audio *.wav

(run 'cdrecord -scanbus' to get the correct dev numbers)

----------------------------------------

Reading the cd to disk:
        cdparanoia -B "1-"

records the data to disk (seems to have some problems but it has worked):
        cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 -dao -audio *.wav

---------------------------------------

Good luck,
Blake
