Simple really, on my system and a few other peoples, cdrecord will create audio cds, but when played back on regular audio cd equipement, then all the songs are on the first track, to fix this i just removed the refences to CFLAGS in the ebuild, i also know of one other gentoo user with this problem. Hope this is of use.

The CFLAGS-optimazition has been introduced with bug 51050. Your CFAGS does not seem to be overoptimized. So it seems that I have to test it on my machine (didn't burned an AudioCD since years ;-) ).
I recently burned some Audio-CDs without any problem. Probably the problem is fixed now with newer versions of cdrtools or the kernel. Could you test it?
I recently reinstalled gentoo, with gentoo kernel 2.6.9, and its working, with the same cflags as before, so im guessing the problem is fixed now, ope this helps somebody, so im gonna mark this as fixed, that is if it lets me :-)
