Running Slackware-Current with XFCE, and K3B (minimal kde support as required).
I usually ignore hysterical output from cdrecord, because the author is certifiable. This time, however, I decided to try to find out about it, because I don't want to find myself making frizbees instead of cds.
Here's the dubious output from a simple audio cd:
Code:

cdrecord: Cannot allocate memory. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2).

I take the 'devname' business with a pinch of salt - glad someone forked or patched that. My user is in the "users" group, but also has membership of: root; bin; lp; audio; video; cdrom; plugdev; power; & scanner. Have I left some important thing out, or are the error messages insane?
