I see a -dummy option on cdrecord:

   -dummy The CD/DVD-Recorder will go through all steps of the recording
          process,  but the laser is turned off during this procedure. It
          is recommended to run several tests before actually writing to a
          Compact Disk or Digital Versatile Disk, if the timing and load
          response of the system is not known.

Is this useful?
