Hi,

just as technical background info:

libburn underneath cdrskin is well tested since 10 years.
It supports CD data and CD audio, but not the more exotic CD sector
formats, simply because i lack of any test user or test case for
those CD sectors.
With DVD and BD media, it can compete with growisofs, which is
preferred by K3B over cdrecord for a reason. 

A main advantage for users is that libburn can disable Defect Management
on BD-RE media. This makes burning as fast as the nominal speed of
the medium (i.e. 2x rather than 0.9x) and it keeps media usable which
Defect Management would swamp with replacement blocks although the
original blocks are still good enough.
Like cdrecord it does not format BD-R by default, thus yielding full
speed on BD-R media.

I provide support for libburn (and growisofs if necessary). Its bug
list at least on Debian is clean. If SuSE has open bugs, please forward
them to pkg-libburnia-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.

Elsewise, everybody should be free to choose the burn backend which one
likes most. No need to quarrel.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
