There are platform where it works. :-)
What do you mean by "destroy" - make it unreadable before
or after something has been burned onto the CD-R? You can
use /dev/random to fill the writing process for tools like
cdrdao or cdrecord, e. g.
dd if=/dev/random bs=1024 count=100 | cdrecord -tao -data -
Maybe you need to set specific options (dev=, speed=) for
your recorder.
However, after a successful recording, it's easier to destroy
the CD-R physically. If the session (and media) is already
closed, the same idea applies.
