Experiments on my drives indicate that only Blanking Type 000b "Blank the disc"
achieves neat media. Media blanked via type 001b offer no feature 0021h and
stall cdrecord or libburn already when those media get examined. growisofs can
burn them - but only via DAO (feature 002Fh which prescribes Write Type 2).
