+\fB-dvd_obs\fR "default"|"32k"|"64k"
+Linux specific:
+Set the number of bytes to be transmitted with each write operation to DVD
+or BD media. A number of 64 KB may improve throughput with bus systems which
+show latency problems. The default depends on media type, on option
+-stream_recording , and on compile time options.
+.TP
+\fB-stdio_sync\fR "on"|"off"|number
+Set the number of bytes after which to force output to stdio: pseudo drives.
+This forcing keeps the memory from being clogged with lots of
+pending data for slow devices. Default "on" is the same as "16m".
+Forced output can be disabled by "off".
+.TP

 If "on" then simulate burning or refuse with FAILURE event if
 no simulation is possible, do neither blank nor format.
