Hi Alexander,

The idea seems very good, but since the value of SPEED is user supplied
data, I would rather see a bit of validation code after getenv().  With
this version of the patch, burncd would happily accept and try to use
values that are quite absurd, i.e.:

    env SPEED=12234567890 burncd ...

It may also be sensible to do the translation from "human readable"
speed values and the multiplication with 177 _after_ the value has been
parsed from getenv(), so that e.g. one can write:

    env SPEED=4 burncd

and get behavior similar to the current default.
