I've not seen the fixate fail, but I've seen the second write to
a multitrack disk fail if the device is not closed inbetween.
The problem was that the b_offset that is used to calculate the
LBA to write to, is not reset between the writes, so the
address doesn't corresspond with the address found with the
next_writeable function. This is fixed now...
I've also investigated using the READCD cmd instead of READ_BIG to
read the CD, this allows one to read _any_ data in _any_ format
off the CD, thereby eliminating the need for rippers, you just
dd the audio CD into a file, handy :). It seems to work pretty
well, so I might commit that too...
