 By setting "on" request that compliance to the desired speed setting is
 preferred over management of write errors. With DVD-RAM and BD this can
 bring effective write speed near to the nominal write speed of the media.
 But it will also disable the automatic use of replacement blocks
 if write errors occur. It might as well be disliked or ignored by the drive.

+If a number is given, then error management stays enabled for all byte
+addresses below that number. Any number below 16s is the same as "off".
