[Cdrdao-devel] Stay away of kernel 2.6.8-1

[Denis L. <den...@ya...>]

A couple of notes on recent linux kernel stuff :

- as of 2.6.8, some security "fixes" were introduced that no longer
allows cdrdao to burn CDs without root permissions. It's a classical
case of somebody making a decision without using their heads and
thinking about the consequences. This means cdrecord and cdrdao need to
be setuid as root to run correctly, which, from a secury standpoint, is
much worse :-(

- 2.6.8-1 has a monster bug related to DMA buffer alignment. As a
result, audio cd burning doesn't work correctly with both cdrecord and
cdrdao: the burning process seems to work fine but it'll produce a
inaudible CD.

You've been warned :-)
