How to burn CD's from the command line in 2009?

I've always managed to burn CDs and DVDs from the command line but I haven't done it in a long time. cdrecord wasn't working as root and I noticed it was just a symlink pointing to wodim.
I tried the following command as root in a directory with some wav files:

# cdrecord -dev=/dev/sr0 -driveropts=burnfree -audio -pad *.wav

Which gives me:

Mar  6 08:43:18 wilco ata7.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0

Mar  6 08:43:19 wilco ata7.00: configured for UDMA/100
Mar  6 08:43:19 wilco ata7: EH complete

This worked for me in 2008, so has anything big changed?

Lets bet:

I bet, if you uninstall cdrkit and install cdrtools from AUR burning will work again smile

roll Sounds good but why is cdrkit the default instead of cdrtools? Did I miss something? Do people hate cdrecord even more these days?

Haha I didn't mean to end up in a flameware, I'll just try cdrtools when I get home.

I did not follow the discussion, but I just use wodim as specified on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CD_Burning_Tips, and that works great for me.

Hmm strange, I tried the same command as in my first post and it works fine with the real cdrtools but not with wodim (I also tried k3b and that failed too). So I just stick with cdrtools

I haven't really followed the discussion either but why choose an "emulated cdrecord" that doesn't work instead of the real program that works great?

To be fair: wodim does not emulate anything. It just symlinks to cdrecord to be compatible.

The criticized points about cdrkit can be seen on the cdrtools homepage.

Sry to bump, but it seems to work fine at this date with cdrkit.
I removed k3b, cdrkit and cdrtools, installed the new versions (as of 28 march, don't know exactly what changed in these packages) and it seems to work.
