You CAN'T have multiple cdrecord processes burning the same disc at the same time; the very idea makes no sense. The O_EXCL just prevents you from trying such foolishness and creating a coaster.

It does not prevent you from creatig a coaster in case you connect e.g.
two ATAPI writers to the same ATA cable.

So what? What does that have to do with my rebutting your statement that O_EXCL prevents multiple cdrecords? O_EXCL also does not prevent you from kicking the plug out of the wall while burning, but it DOES prevent another process from trying to mess with the drive while cdrecord is and clobbering things up, which is a good thing. It does not prevent you from using cdrecord at the same time on different drives.
