DVD burn speed is not the same as CD burn speed. This is why you
have both CD and DVD speed specs on drives. When it comes to CDs,
there are two different blank formats. You have the 1x to 4x and the
4x to ?x. You can not burn the 1-4x at faster then 4x. You can not
burn the 4x-4x+ CDs at slower the 4x. This has NOTHING to do with
DVD burning speeds.

Check your drive CD burning speeds and CD blank speeds. See if they
are rated to burn at slower then 4x. If not, then regardless of the
software, you are NOT doing to be able to burn CDs slower then 4x.
Again, this is different then DVD burn speeds.

You may want to do some research on burning CDs and DVDs so that you
understand the difference. You will probably discover that your
hardware will not burn CDs at slower then 4x.

Thanx for the explanation.
So, I tried
$ wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=4 image6.iso
. . . .
Speed set to 1764 KB/s
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 10.0 in real force TAO mode for single session.

I interrupted the burn, as it did not obey 4x speed.

So, I tried 6X.

$ wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=6 image3.iso
. . . .
Speed set to 1764 KB/s
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed  10.0 in real TAO mode for single session.

When I add driveropts=forcespeed, it still says:

I believe that wodim may be the source of the problem.
