ok (i'm using k3b 0.8.1).

ok, thank you, will check that (i'm at work right now). i can't really reduce 
the speed since my burner doesn't support less than 8x (i don't know how 
cdrdao does, but cdrecord ignores any setting at less than 8x, and the box 
confirms it's 8x or more), but will try the DMA thingie. No idea if it's on 
already or not.

otherwise, how are other people doing? how fast are people copying audio CDs 
on the fly under linux usually, if at all?
