I added an alias to my .cshrc to capture the basic command line
options, which reads as follows:
alias burn 'cdrecord dev=IOCompactDiscServices speed=12 -v'

With that alias burning as iso image is just 'burn somecd.iso'.
To burn an audio CD : 'burn -audio -pad somelistofrippedaudio(.aiff or 
.wav).

And I use exactly the same command options for mkisofs as Michael.

IMHO cdrecord/mkisofs is practically crying out for an Applescript
Studio based GUI front end.  Maybe if I get some time over the holidays
I'll take a crack at it.
