thanks for the detailed explanation. 
I managed to wrap these commands in a little script, so now I can do this
with a single command, I think this wil do the trick for my purpose.

I see, that does not sound trivial, at least to me :)
Fortunately there seems to be no danger with the Asus drive here, it does
not sound like it is spinning unreasonably fast when when using dd, so I
think it should be save just to skip this step.

Ok, I thought so. Checking success by listening to the CD playing on my
stereo will be good enough, I guess. And I`ll just assume that if data
discs are ok the same will be true for audio-CDs.
So far the Asus managed to pass all tests, so probably I should just be
grateful to all the transcendental authorities that guided my hand when I
picked that carton from the shelf :)

Thanks again for your patience, and have a nice day :-)
