It seems that either the drive or the software didn't like the Maxell CD-RW I used, even though it was blank to start with. They didn't complain, but the results were no good. Retried this morning with a Maxell CD-R and it worked just fine.
This was with Ubuntu's default Brasero and again with the old command line cdrecord that I've used for years.
The sound issue mentioned in the post is corrected by running a patch program at startup. Seems that by default they are connecting the sound chip to a dead-end mixer device. That leads to another Ubuntu bug: it wasn't executing /etc/rc.local (where I installed the patch) at all. Both the sound thing and the rc.local thing have been reported on launchpad since last fall, neither has been properly addressed yet. Black marks for the Ubuntu team on this, especially the rc.local issue. I'd let them off on the sound chip, since it's a relatively new device, except that it was working in the early Karmic kernel and they broke it sometime even before Lucid came out.

Package? Should I send you some dollars?
