Thanks to Sam
Varshavchik
for this report.

I just got the word that Gear
software
will be porting their CD mastering software to Linux.
This should be welcome news to everyone who uses a number of legacy
CD burners that are only supported by Gear’s Windows mastering
software.

Although it would be nice if the respective manufacturers would
release the technical documentation on their legacy CD burners, in
order to write an OSS driver, this is better than nothing.
