cdrskin 1.5.8 : limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn

Usage: /usr/bin/cdrskin [options|source_addresses]
Burns preformatted data to CD or DVD via libburn.
For the cdrecord compatible options which control the work of
blanking and burning see output of option -help rather than --help.

 sao_postgap="off"|number

 stream_recording="on"|"off"|number
                    "on" requests to prefer speed over write

 stdio_sync="default"|"off"|number
                    set number of bytes after which to force output
                    to drives with prefix "stdio:".
 tao_to_sao_tsize=<num>  use num as fixed track size if in a
                    non-TAO mode track data are read from "-"
                    and no tsize= was specified.

 use_immed_bit=on|off|default  real control over SCSI Immed bit
 write_start_address=<num>  write to given byte address (DVD+RW)
 --xa1-ignore       with -xa1 do not strip 8 byte headers
 -xamix             DO NOT USE (Dummy announcement to make K3B use -xa)
Preconfigured arguments are read from the following startup files
if they exist and are readable. The sequence is as listed here:
  /etc/default/cdrskin         /etc/opt/cdrskin/rc
  /etc/cdrskin/cdrskin.conf    $HOME/.cdrskinrc
Each file line is a single argument. No whitespace.
By default any argument that does not match grep '^-.' or '=' is
used as track source. If it is "-" then stdin is used.
