I was using wodim via K3B. Wodim was reporting hardware errors (via K3B)
with my CD drive. My laptop was old then, it's a couple of years older
now, so I figured the CD drive was going bad. So I quit burning CDs on
it. Then I read the cdrecord team's side of the issue with Debian, and
decided to see if cdrecord would work. It did, successfully burning CDs
on my laptop without hardware errors.
I have had problems with k3b as well (two bad dvds before I gave up), if I
use brasero it's ok. I think brasero cd burning (from a toc file) uses
cdrdao. gcdmaster is the tool I like best though.

Wodim had been failing with "hardware" errors for a few years before
that.
Were you using wodim from the command line? You should file a bug, if it
is not working for you.
