Ok, again, stop.

Does this answer the original poster's question?  He wants to write CD's; 
hearing the excess information about DVD's doesn't help him.  Why is it so 
hard to simply 'help' the original poster?

Last I checked, k3b for writing CD's uses CDRecord.  Since the OP's question 
was about CD's and not DVD's, the whole packet of information about DVD's was 
extraneous and superfluous.

I use K3B on a WhiteBox 3 machine; since I do use it to write data DVD's I had 
to build a later growisofs for it, but for the CD recording side I have had 
zero problems in over 1,000 CD's burnt, both audio and data.  As the drive I 
have doesn't support DAO recording, I have it set to do TAO, which seems to 
work just fine with every CD player I've tried the disc's in.

So, to answer the original question, K3B (of a recent version) works fine on a 
RHEL3-derived system for burning audio CD's, assuming you have a good burner.  

On my particular system I also have to make sure I run k3b as root; otherwise 
the drive doesn't show up (since it is not the only CD drive in the system, 
and since it uses ide-scsi (remember, CentOS3/WhiteBox 3/RHEL3 are 2.4 
kernel) the system gets a little confused).
