You can find the package buffer in the repos. Put the program buffer in 
your command pipeline like this:

brec <audio card> | buffer | cdrecord -audio <cdrw> -

I used it for playing music on my old 180MHz machine to avoid dropouts 
when there was heavy load from other programs.

Another option might be an increased buffer size for cdrecord.
