Sure?
k3b happily uses cdrtools if present.
Yeah, that's wodim.
You seem to missunderstand things: k3b tries to avoid this fake whenever possible. k3b authors know that "wodim" and friends is unmaintained crap and full of bugs. If the original software is available, k3b of course uses cdrecord and friends.
But I've seen k3b use cdrdao at times, not sure why.
Maybe something cdrdao supports that wodim doesn't, but DAO is not that something since wodim supports it just fine.
wodim is a "fork" from a cdrtools version from September 2004. The only "development activity" that could be seen was to introduce new Debian specific bugs. Since May 5th 2007, it is fully unmaintained. So the current situation is: - cdrdao is unmaintained since October 2009 (the last new functionality has been added in Summer 2004). - "cdrkit" (wodim) is unmaintained since it's beginning and it is based on archeoligical versions of the original software. You thus should not be surprized that it misses more than 50% of the features of current software. This is why I don't like to compare cdrdao with "wodim".... or do you like to use a version of the Linux kernel from 2004 when you know that development did not stop? I currently know of no feature from cdrdao that is not also in cdrtools.
