SCSI device. This /dev/sg0 may be left as it is and stay invisible for normal
users.)

format with above parameters and eventually get extracted by cdrskin itself.
Files with name extension .au get examined wether they are in SUN's audio
format with above parameters. Their big-endianness gets handled properly.
Any other formats are to be extracted by commands like those given above under
"Usage examples".
In the same way files with name extension .au get examined wether they are
in SUN's audio format. For both formats, track format -audio and eventual
endianness option -swab are enabled automatically.
Any other formats are to be converted to format .wav with above parameters
or to be extracted as raw CD track data by commands like those given above
under "Usage examples". Those raw files need option -audio and in most cases
option -swab to mark them as little-endian/Intel/LSB-first 16-bit data.
Incorrect endianness setting results in random noise on CD.
I myself am not into audio. So libburn-hackers@pykix.org might be the
best address for suggestions, requests and bug reports.

cdrskin project - at least for now - refuses to try to provide a similar
guesswork but uses own cdrecord style addresses which have a mere
semi-automatic text mapping to real libburn addresses. See cdrskin/README,
"Pseudo-SCSI Adresses".
If you need to foist cdrskin under a frontend then you may be lucky and
both ideas of an address coincide. Especially if the frontend has the
decency to ask its "cdrecord" via option -scanbus for a list of drives.
If not, look into the error protocol of the frontend, look at the output
of a run of cdrskin --devices and give cdrskin the necessary hint.

Normally, cdrskin understands all addresses which are suitable for cdrecord

This option is mainly for (yet unknown) exotic configurations or very
