Maybe this should be a make-option for building the port. I actually
like it not being "-s max" for several reasons:
- most audio-cd-player still won't play audio-cds recorded at max-speed.
- many cdrs don't like the max-speed the cd-rw-drive offers.
- many cd-drives don't like data-cds recorded at a higher speed.
at least I don't have another medium to throw away if I forget to
select a proper speed.
