    Although someone may say that the size of cdrecord is
proportional to the author's ego, the crude reality is that cdrecord
has to be such complex and huge (well, I don't think it is huge,
but...). It has to be complex because cdwriting *is* complex. Take a
look at the code and see if you can get rid of things. Nowadays I
think that most of the writers out there are SCSI-3/MMC compliant, so
you can just use that driver, but that won't probably remove much
code.

    Try joining a cdrecord alternative. I don't remember the name,
but a project to build a cd recording library exists.
