CD burning problems with SLES9 SP3

Hello,

Are there other methods on SLES9 SP3 than cdrecord to burn CDs?

We have problems with cdrecord due to the endless private war between
Schilling and Suse and because the driver for the cd burner of the HP
Proliant ML350 server is in pre-alpha state:

I compiled the latest cdrecord 2.01 from Schilling under SLES9 SP3 and
tried to run ut on the HP Proliant ML350 hardware. It complains and
promises not to be much better:
