Both values can be inquired from optical media by help of burn programs

Always eject the drive tray between sessions. The old sessions
get read via /dev/sr0. Its device driver might not be aware
of the changed content before it loads the medium again.
In this case the previous session would not be loaded and the
new session would contain only the newly added files.

For the same reason do not let xorriso -as cdrecord load the medium,
but rather do this manually or by a program that reads from /dev/sr0.
The run of xorriso -as mkisofs will read old sessions via the CD-ROM
driver of /dev/sr0. This driver might not be aware of the changed content
as long as the medium is not loaded again. In this case the previous session
would not be properly assessed by xorriso and the new session would contain
only the newly added files.
@*
Some systems have not enough patience with automatic tray loading and some
demons may interfere with a first CD-ROM driver read attempt from a freshly
loaded medium.
@*
When loading the tray manually, wait 10 seconds after the drive has stopped
blinking.
@*
A safe automatic way seems to be a separate run of xorriso for loading
the tray with proper waiting, and a subsequent run of dd which shall offer
itself to any problems caused by demons assessing the changed drive status.
If this does not help, insert a run of "sleep 10" between xorriso and dd.
