The Windoze program "Nero" burns CD's just fine under wine at 12x, whereas 
under WinXP-home Nero causes a blue screen of death :-)  I suspect that 
Windows DVD burning might work as well.  I don't believe there's any serious 
hardware obstacle to be overcome as long as the burner program loads and runs 
under Wine.  A reasonably fast machine (mine is a PIII-800) helps, though.  
I'd much rather use cdrdao or cdrecord under Linux because they run at real 
time priority so are unlikely to fail even if the sytem becomes heavily 
loaded, but generating the toc under Linux for a sao/dao audio cd is 
currently more trouble than simply using Nero under Wine.
