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.

Hmm, last time I checked, none of the
deb-multimedia versions were
set to be more recent than the Sid ones. They're also not
automatically upgradeable, apparently. At least, last time I did a
system upgrade (not dist-upgrade) it didn't upgrade any of the
deb-multimedia packages, even though some of them had been upgraded
by deb-multimedia. At least I have to manually upgrade one if I want
to.
I mostly use it for the win32 codecs, AACS keys, easytag, mplayer.
easytag and mplayer(2) are available from the Debian repositories.
I don't have the win32 codecs installed and have yet to find a file
which doesn't play, although, of course, your needs may be more
demanding than mine. I don't
always agree with Debian's personal idiocies, such as their
hatred of cdrecord. I replaced wodim with cdrecord, and was
surprised to find out that CD burning WORKED ON MY LAPTOP AGAIN.
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.
