Restrictions
The convenient burn mode TAO is becoming available with libburn right now.
First experiments have shown good results with a single track. Nevertheless
the possible pitfalls still have to be explored.
Therefore TAO is still defaulted to mode SAO which needs to know the track
size in advance. non-cdrecord option tao_to_sao_tsize=650m causes each CD
to get burned up to 650 MB regardless of the payload size.
Compile with
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh -experimental
to enable explicit option -tao. (Note that -sao for now is default even then.)
No multi session yet.
Please report your wishes about other not yet supported options.

+ -pad is always set for audio tracks

Since -tao is supported in cdrskin-0.2.5 the TAO-to-SAO workaround on its way

the full annouced amount of data. Missing data will be padded up by 0-bytes.
Surplus data is supposed to cause an error, though. The burn will then
