So I took a quick look through ATAPI specification (I have to say I'm a user not a developer) and found nothing that would seem to flush that damn cache. So the problem is that some CD-R drives (probably the older ones) expect you to eject CD after burning (even a buffer/cache clearing after burn would seem logical to me) and there is nothing you can do about it (except buying different drive). Unfortunately it is not a kernel or cdrecord issue (if it was it could have been fixed:) ). I guess you'll just have to do with ejecting :). Sorry.
