Awesome. This is why I love the Internet :-)
Makes sense: at slower speeds, the laser could burn a hole in the media. So at slowest
possible speed, I should get the deepest possible pits, and thus the most reliable-to-read
CD, I guess.
I will go now burn CD's with impunity. Thanks again.

The limiting factor could well be the minimum
power at which
the write laser can operate - lower write speed requires less
power.
Hey, I found it! Is not the drive limits as I have used my drive to
write at very low speeds in the past (not because better recordings but
just to avoid annoying drive noise). It's medium limits: writable DVD
and CD have a minimum write speed, and software will refuse to select
slower speeds. Try this (with the blank medium loaded in the drive):
for DVD:
dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd1
for CD:
wodim -prcap
Ken, it is very likely that 8x is already the slowest that you can get
with those CD, I'm afraid.
