Either, I misunderstand you or you misunderstood me. I meant something
like this:

  dd if=file bs=4k|cdrecord -dummy ...

For me that's 2-4x faster (depending on the blocksize) than

  cat file|cdrecord -dummy ...

I don't see why these aren't pipes. I would also suggest to use -waiti
for cdrecord. The fifosize shouldn't be too large either because then
cdrecord seems to spend more CPU with filling the fifo than writing to
the burner.
