I don't think a doc change would be the right solution.  You should
instead fill in a src PR related to your burner device failing with
burncd(8).

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

I also think that a doc change is not the way to go, we can enlist every 
package that is able to burn on our system, but instead lets fixup the 
device so that everybody can profit from this. close the ticket as a 
result.

Followup PR for this problem is filed against burncd:

Remco,

My rationale was that it will probably take a long time to fix burncd. Such PRs
are closed very slowly.

And there is a working utility that can be used by users.

So if new users will try following handbook they will fail for sure. Why not
have cdrecord recommended to users so that they aren't exposed to bugs? And
still fix burncd when possible.

OS should just work out of the box. Like Apple OS pretty much just works w/out
exposing users to any major problems. FreeBSD should be the same.
