Aha, it took me ages to work it out. It isn't documented very well (ie
read the source!) but all you need to do is compile it with the following
in the cdrecord/Makefile file:

CPPOPTS +=      -DFIFO -DUSE_PG -DTYPE_ATAPI

                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this being the new bit.

BTW you need the latest alpha of the cdrecord program :
