neither of those reasons.  I have found through experience
that it can mean the difference between readable and unreadable
when a disc is played in another player, especially an older one.
At 1X the melting is a little deeper and can allow some older players
to read the disc while it would start skipping on playback when the
disc was recorded at a higher speed

I am not sure but I believe that your not being able to record at
1X could be an issue with the drive.  I have a new IBM Intellistation
Z Pro and I have noticed that the lower speeds aren't even available
for recording but on an older Pentium III with an older Yamaha
SCSI CD recorder and SuSE 8.0 I record at 1X
