Set the speed factor of the writing process to #. # is an inte-
ger, representing a multiple of the audio speed. This is about
150 KB/s for CD-ROM, about 172 KB/s for CD-Audio and about
1385 kB/s for DVD media.

so, burning CD should be fine on "USB" (non Hi-Speed) which is limited to
12Mbps / 1.5Mbps, but DVD burning won't work since min requirement is
~13.5Mbps sustained data rate. Hi-Speed USB (included in 2.0) tops at
480Mbps, enough for the fastest DVD writers.
