The downside to that is that while this all gets fought out cd burning on
Linux is more of a pain than it should be.
Someone remind me why the whole world is a prisoner to Joerg's cd
burning program?
Anybody can write their own, and if Joerg is a pain to work with that
is a double extra incentive for this other implementation to be
written.
In fact I'm very surprised this hasn't happened already.
Because Jorg has maintained the program for a decade, has found and
supported new vendors and devices, he seems to get new hardware sooner
than most, and many programs and scripts use his program as an output stage.
Unless someone wants to dedicate themselves to do such a program things
will go the way of certain other programs which were "the best" before
they were obsolete. There's a reason why the list is called cdwrite, and
no one uses that any more.
Joerg is technically astute, and has no clue how to interface with
people without pissing them off. He loves the obsolete sg interface, he
thinks his DVD-pro thing will make money but the last time I checked he
didn't tke credit cards or paypal, and he just has no people skills or
interest in learning them.
That's why people put up with him, he continues to support what he does.
