That's a bit of a shame. Is this the case in Warty, or is CD writing
functional in Warty?

I shall give k3b a try - thanks for the suggestion.

Egg on face department: My oversize wave files were caused by me
misunderstanding that I need .raw files for a CD-R. This is a bit of
hangover from Windows days, where it called them .wav files. I created
many CDs in Windows. I can only assume that the CD writing software I
used in Windows stripped the .wav headers to make .raw files as it
created the CD. I didn't realise that Linux software doesn't, in
general, seem to do this.

The learning curve continues.
