growisofs is_dao in page 05h sets Write Type to 2 "SAO". It is accompanied (mmc5r03c.pdf 5.3.25)
by dvd_compat. Thus Multi-session is set to 0. Experiments with growisofs showed that the track size needs to be predicted
and may not be exceeded during the write process. (growisofs ran into SCSI
errors with piped non-ISO-9660 images and with piped ISO-9660 which have
trailing data.)
Speed can be influenced by B6h SET STREAMING , speed capabilities can be
inquired by ACh GET PERFORMANCE. It is advised to set only speeds and sizes
which are returned by ACh.
