1- I don't care if that works or not on other OSes. This is a
fonctionality I expect to work on my target host.

2- cdrecord locks the user inside its own terminology, instead of a
being open to the platform, for 'cross-platform compatibility reasons'

Sorry but I don't buy any of that.

Now, if someone was to provide you with patches to support the Linux
way of doing things, keeping all your functionality as it is today,
just reorganizing the code in a slightly different way, would you
consider looking at the patches?
