[plug] cdrom back to its max speed after using cdrecord

[William Kenworthy]

Its a backup script: zips a lot of files into a cd sized archive and
burns them to cdrw, testing each one before going on.  What I need is a
command after cdrecord to reset the drive back to high speed.  When the
current run finishes, I will try cdrecord -speed=12 etc and see if that
works.
