Hi.  The cdrecord syntax varies depending on whether you want to create
a data or audio cd.  If you are creating a data cd, you need to use
mkisofs to create the data image that will be burnt to the cd.  If you
are creating an audio cd, then you need to put the wav files, which must
be 44100 mhz sterio in a directory.  Name them 01-file-name.wav,
02-file-name.wav, etc.

The syntax for a data cd is:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=0 -dao -data /path/cd-image-name

If you specify speed=0, cdrecord will automatically pick the appropriate
speed, based on the cd writer's capabilities, and the media capability.

For an audio cd, do this:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -dao -pad -audio /path/directory-name

You can also add a -v at the beginning of the above commands to get
verbose output.
