I've been using K3b built from trunk for quite some time now and it
works pretty well here.

Actually, the main problem with K3b is not K3b but wodim.

I have to agree with Jörg Schilling here: wodim is broken. It should
be replaced with cdrecord again. Reinhard Tartler (siretart) was
working on this, trying to get cdrecord in Debian again, but it seems
the package is blocked in the Debian ftpmasters queue (it did not
build in a clean Hardy or Jaunt pbuilder here, by the way)
