I don't use anything from Debian. I built the version of
cdrecord from your tgz package. I had been running an
earlier version 2.01a27. Neither that version nor the most
recent writes a 16x disk at the rated speed using a Pioneer
drive. The problem is specifically the Pioneer, since either
version of cdrecord will write the disks using an Optiarc
drive.
