Description of problem:
PS: I was unable to find a cdrecord component.


I have a HP NX7010 laptop with a CD/DVD burner.
For some reason cdrecord chooses to ignore the speed I give it and
choose some other speed.

example:

[root@xo tmp]# cdrecord --dev=/dev/hdc speed=24 -driveropts=burnfree
-eject -data yarrow-i386-disc2.iso 
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive
dependent defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Meaning that cdrecord chose speed 16 even tho I requested 24.
Then I burned the third ISO.  Only change in the commandline was the
name of the file:

[root@xo tmp]# cdrecord --dev=/dev/hdc speed=24 -driveropts=burnfree
-eject -data yarrow-i386-disc3.iso 
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.

Here it chose speed 4, even tho I asked for 24.   Annoying at best ;)
