+Tips for MMC RAW mode writing.
+
+	This allows to do disk at once recording on Philips drives that
+	do not support SAO.
+
+	You may write audio tracks in RAW mode. There are some new
+	and most likely transient options:
+
+	-raw16		Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+Q Subchannel
+
+	-raw96r		Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in raw mode)
+
+	-raw96p		Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in packed mode)
+
+	NOTE that the MMC standard does not allow -dummy in RAW mode.
+	There may be drives which allow it but don't bother if it does not work.
+
+	Indices are fully supported in RAW mode.
+
+	MCN & ISRC are not yet supported in RAW mode, they are silently discarded.
+
+	If you find other problems in RAW mode or if you find
+	new bugs introduced in old write modes, please send a bug report.
+
+	wodim now checks the properties of the writer. If a specific write
+	mode is not supported by the writer, wodim warns you and makes
+	a suggestion for a similar alternate write mode.
+
+	With the curent structure of wodim, it is not possible to silently
+	e.g. change the write mode from -dao to -raw96r
+
+	MMC compliant drives are automatically scanned for supported write modes.
+	This should help to make wodim work without manual static configuration.
+	My hope is still to have no need to know all drive properties in 
+	advance, so new drives will continue to work as long as they
+	are standard compliant enough for wodim.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+	wodim dev=1,0 -v -raw96r *.wav
+
+	will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2448 byte sectors 
+	with raw P-W subchannels. This works e.g. with Plextor drives.
+
+
+	wodim dev=1,0 -v -raw16 *.wav
+
+	will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2368 byte sectors 
+	with raw P+Q subchannels. This works e.g. with Philips drives.
+
+
+	NOTE: The input sector size always is 2352 bytes for audio.
+
+IMPORTANT:
+
+	-	if the drive supports RAW/R96R among with other raw write modes,
+		use -raw96r
+
+	-	if the drive does _only_ supports RAW/R16, use -raw16
+
+	-	... else if the drive supports RAW/R96P, use -raw96p
+
+		The packed raw mode (RAW/R96P) is buggy in Plextor drives and
+		the RAW/R16 mode is buggy in TEAC drives. Plextor creates
+		unreadable disks and TEAC hangs the drive.
+
+		For this reason, it is important to select the raw writing
+		mode accoding to the notes above.
