I find enabling dma for my cdwriter helps a lot; hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc note you run hdparm on the block device that would be used if the drive was not in emulation mode so if thedrive was secondary slave it would be /dev/hdd I found that unless dma was enabled on my liteon writer I could not burn at 32x without using burnproof. With dma enabled buffer fill ration was at 87%. This was on an amd Duron 750 with 768 megs of ram and udma66 capable controlers.
