Tried it. Now used /dev/hdd there..
This time it worked a few times and some other times it failed. 
It now seems that I got a buffer underrun, although I do have 'realtime 
priority' for the process.
Note that I'm not using 'burnfree'. That's why I have linux anyway :) .

Can anybody examine why is the buffer of cdrecord less than 100% with 
RR-scheduling? That would never happen in 2.4, cdrecord 1.10 ..
