I always make an image when burning from different parts of disk, my 
problem is burning dvd's while doing other disk I/O - with growisofs 
this results immediately in more and more buffer underruns. I need some 
fifo such like cdrecord has.

I found pipebuf tool at http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/pipebuf/ 
but it failed to compile for me...

Thanks for answer,
Cheers
