	Yes things have changed. Here is how it is on Hardy:

karl at karl-hardy:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/wodim
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 359116 2008-02-29 23:22 /usr/bin/wodim
karl at karl-hardy:~$ locate cdrecord
/usr/bin/cdrecord
/usr/lib/brasero/plugins/libbrasero-cdrecord.la
/usr/lib/brasero/plugins/libbrasero-cdrecord.so
karl at karl-hardy:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/cdrecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2008-06-14 11:17 /usr/bin/cdrecord -> wodim
karl at karl-hardy:~$

	It is clear that cdrecord calls wodim. Now wodim is newer than cdrecord
but I think it works not as good!
