That is because you changed these lines in test/driver/cdrdao.c.in
-       if (!cdio_is_tocfile(psz_tocfile)) {
+       if (!cdio_is_tocfile(psz_tocfile) || 
+     !(p_cdio = cdio_open_cdrdao(psz_tocfile))) {
Since most of the test toc files do not have a datafile entry, the image
driver will not parse them and return an error. Also the offsets given
in vcd2.toc are bigger than the actual image file cdda.bin and causing
another error.

cdrecord should do the job. I do not have any blank discs right now but
I will try tomorrow.
There are two options
1) use `cuefile=filename' and `-text' command line arguments. cdrecord
should parse the CDTEXTFILE keyword then
2) if it does not, you can still manually specify the cdtextfile with
`textfile=filename' argument
see man cdrecord

Actually there is almost no documentation of CD-Text implementation. I
had to get most of it by digging through cdrecords and cdda2wavs source
code. Those were the only programs that got close to implementing the whole 
standard.
