cdwrite 3.5.1

* when Linux Mint displays the messages such as:

    wodim: No such file or directory. 
    Cannot open SCSI driver!
    For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
    For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
    For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
    the wodim documentation.

  it means that there is no pluggable SCSI device attached to the machine so
  these messages are completely harmless unless you try to use a pluggable
  device.

* cdrdao refuses to write CD-TEXT on audio CD when used with many burners in
  WAV files writing mode.  In such a case as a rule of thumb try to use
  generic-mmc-raw driver.  By default cdwrite uses it for all devices.

* cdrdao in write mode displays the message:

    WARNING: No super user permission to setup real time scheduling.

  To avoid it cdwrite in default configuration calls cdrdao with sudo.

* cdrecord refuses to close multi session data CDs: it is impossible to burn
  one or more sessions using ``Multi session'' (Track at Once) option and
  then use ``Closing session'' (Session at Once) option.  So it is possible
  to write multi session CDs in TAO mode or to write a single session CDs in
  SAO mode but it is not possible to mix those modes on the same CD.

* some CD-RW and DVD-RW drives refuse to blank CD-RW or DVD-RW media.  In
  such a case as a rule of thumb try lowering the writing speed.  By default
  cdwrite uses moderate speed 12x.

* some CD-ROM drives do not work well with cdda-player -- the program works
  but the sound is not audible.  So for the compatibility reasons default
  audio CD player used by cdwrite is mplayer though it is good idea to test
  cdda-player too because it works better than mplayer if it works.

* to play audio files cdwrite have to write playlist in the current directory
  so if the user has not rights to write in that directory cdwrite will
  refuse to play the music -- in fact that is not a bug but a feature.

* cdwrite has perhaps some other bugs too but unfortunately I do not know
  about them because I have fixed each bug I have encountered so far.  If you
  find a bug feel free to write to me and to report it: <c.kruk@bigfoot.com>.
