Package: cdrecord Version: 4:2.01+01a01-2 Severity: normal My understanding from the docs is that cdrecord will look at the settings in /etc/default/cdrecord to get default device and other settings. I have:
CDR_DEVICE=cdrw CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m cdrw= ATA:1,0,0 -1 -1 "" With these settings, the docs suggest that cdrecord -prcap should work. Instead, I get the following: smaug:/home/jlquinn# cdrecord -prcap cdrecord: Bad fifo size in defaults. smaug:/home/jlquinn# cdrecord dev=ATA: -prcap Cdrecord-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J\uffffrg Schilling NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of cdrecord and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.
