Depends what you're burning, and burning onto.. I have certainly had burcd=

hang (unkillable) while growisofs and cdrecord et al work fine.

It would be OK if you could compile a version of cdrecord (for example) tha=
t=20
could burn to both SCSI and ATAPI devices without atapicam. I believe someo=
ne=20
wrote patches to teach libscilly to talk to ATAPI devices directly but you=
=20
have to choose it OR CAM, you can't have both in the same binary.

While atapicam is a bit of a kludge, it does provide compatibility with a w=
ide=20
range of binaries that people use in leu of them supporting the ata code :)
