Buffer underruns cause cdrecord to stop burning if you aren't using the
burnfree driver option. If you can write the whole image, you probably have
no buffer underruns.

If you use burnfree, you can use the -v option to see a count of the
prevented buffer underruns.

You should burn SAO whenever possible, but this has nothing to do
with the image type.
