FWIW, I've just tried k3b here - lots of messages advising me to upgrade 
to cdrtools 2, then a message that cdrdao is missing (true), but I 
tried anyway - error mesages show drive doesn't support TAO, and DAO 
returns an unknown error (255).  That was with 0.12.10, then I saw you 
had tried a newer version, so tried 0.12.14 - the same failure.

 Yes, I do have a cdrecord symlink, and yes, dvdrecord compiles nicely 
here (amd64, also ppc64 with both -m32 and -m64, unlike cdrtools) and 
seems to work fine when called from the command line [for both of which, 
many thanks!].

 The only reference to cdrdao in the 0.3.1 tarball is comments in 
video/makecd - did it used to be part of cdrtools ?
