K3B 0.11.18 and 0.11.23 do not detect proper media speed. After starting burn process, K3B reports that burner(40x) and/or media(24x) do not support 24X, and K3B drops to 4X. This is on a pioneer dvr-109, kernel 2.6.11-r6 and 2.6.8-r6 both have same problem. DMA is active, and I get descent results with hdparm. Previous TDK burner wrote at full speed 16X. I believe this is a gentoo issue; the only other reference i found to a similar problem after exhaustive searching was also a gentoo user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set speed at 24X. 2.Start burn process 3.K3B reports that it cannot burn at 24X, reverts to 4X and burns CD.

Also, latest firmware is 1.40 (you have 1.17), so you could give it a try. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_4249_201803982,00.html
Well, for anyone else who has this issue it is not resolved by firmware upgrade. Will post bug with KDE. Thanks
