I was about to suggest adding fixate to the command line, like so

burncd -f /dev/acd0 -d audio * fixate

but then I read in the man page that it's ignored if -d is given 
(obviously now that I think about it, since DAO normally implies 
fixating). However, it may be worth trying anyway.

You may also want to try sysutils/cdrtools-devel, which is a lot more 
competent than burncd. However, as you have an ATAPI CD burner, you will 
need atapicam in your kernel. Either add

device atapicam

to your kernel config, recompile, install and reboot or

kldload atapicam

as root in the console or an xterm.

To automate it, add

atapicam_load="YES"

to your /boot/loader.conf.

Good luck,
