Burning audio CDs

For some reason, burncd doesn't work on teevee:

=== root@teevee (/dev/ttyp4) ~ 66 -> echo burncd -f /dev/acd0 audio `ls -1rt *.wav` fixate
burncd -f /dev/acd0 audio Mozart---1-Kyrie.wav Mozart---2-Gloria.wav Mozart---3-Laudamus-te.wav

With cdrecord, you need atapicam loaded, and it has this stupid requirement of the SCSI device number: Then run with:

=== root@teevee (/dev/ttyp4) ~ 93 -> cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -speed=2 -pad -audio `ls -1rt *.wav`
...
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 4 in real TAO mode for single session.
Last chance to quit, starting real write    0 seconds.  Operation starts.
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 106919568/106919568 (45459 sectors).

      Speed 4, not 2.  No feedback that it's running, iostat shows nothing.

      
Removing spaces from file names
# Replace spaces in names with -.
# This doesn't work for the same reason that spaces in names are such
# a pain in the first place.
spaceout ()

  (for i in $*; do echo mv \"$i\" `echo $i | sed "s:':-:g; s:^:':; s: :-:g; s:$:':"`; done)
}
