[Kreatecd-devel] DAO support of kreatecd

[Alexander F. <Ale...@gm...>]

Hi

I am implementing cdrdao support at the moment - as you might know. It
starts to work now - it is far from being perfect and some things have
still to be done.

- on the fly recording with cdrdao is not possible at the moment. cdrdao
doesn't accept FIFO as track source yet. The author probably will
implement this soon. (at least he said to do it when I mailed him). I
have a hacky patch for cdrdao on my hard disk but we will have to change
kreatecd again when we want to support the final cdrdao version with
this feature.

- cdrecord uses some strange track modes. (xa1,xa2 etc). These are no
real track modes on a CD. Schilling mixed track modes and TOC types. If
you use xa1 track modes, you probably get a TOC type of CDROM XA and a
normal mode1 track. I never has seen such behavior in any other burning
app - but I simply used cdrecord track modes. We might want to change
that and use official track mode names. We might have to find a way for
the user to force the TOC type if he wants.

We will probably be able to write raw tracks with cdrdao and I think we
should support this
