Hi mates, thank thou I am set! I now burn Audio CDs successfully using "cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -v -audio speed=2 /cd/audio" and what have you! But: Two seconds (and therefore two questions) are left: 01) The gaps in front of the tracks are usually 2 seconds and that gets on my nerves when I want to burn long mixes. How can I get rid of them? I just found out about: devpregap=0 pregap=0 It is written that these commands will be replaced soon. What then? What is the difference between those? What works best for you? Is there yet another command? Does that depend on which CDW you use? 02) I have my "burning PC" set up so that I can transfer the wav or image files via LAN and then start actual burning. Now, that I have not quite encountered problems, do I have to switch runlevel down (=network off) during burn action? If so, would s.t. like init 1 and afterwards init 2 be enough to secure that no fifo underruns occure? Any friendly help or pointer appreciated.
