That's it exactly.
So after all my (s)wag was correct :)
So I took a quick look through ATAPI specification (I have to say I'm a
user not a developer) and found nothing that would seem to flush that
damn cache. So the problem is that some CD-R drives (probably the older
ones) expect you to eject CD after burning (even a buffer/cache clearing
after burn would seem logical to me) and there is nothing you can do
about it (except buying different drive). Unfortunately it is not a
kernel or cdrecord issue (if it was it could have been fixed:) ). I
guess you'll just have to do with ejecting :). Sorry.
