DAO works in Linux too. :)

"cdrdao" is very similar to "cdrecord". (the application KreateCD relies on to
burn CD-Rs).  It works in DAO mode and has support for Teac CD-R 55S too.

Have a look at it:

http://www.ping.de/sites/daneb/cdrdao.html

It might be possible to create a second CDWriter class that uses "cdrdao" to
burn CD-R in DAO mode. There are two methods to read the TOC too (cdrecord and
cdda2wav). This was neccessary because some drives (Plextor PX32-TS) has
problems reading the TOC with cdrecord. There is a virtual base class and one
class for each helper application. We could do this for CD recording too.In the
last weeks there was a major cleanup concerning class structure which will make
some things much easier.
