CDRDAO Problem-- actually maybe a SCSI emulation problem

Help again...I still have not solved my problem with the audio yet, but I have 
a newer more pressing problem.

I am tryng to record some old albums I have and transfer to CD.  Since I can 
record the recods now, the problem I have is when I try to burn an "audio" CD 
(I can burn data CDs with no problems).  I get error messages from CDRDAO.  
It does not know what driver to use with my Lite-on LTR-52246S CD R/W drive.  
So, reading the general info, I have tried both the "generic-mmc" and the 
"generic-mmc-raw driver" with the same result (See typical response below).


cdrdao
-----------------------
ERROR: Illegal option: --driver generic-mmc
Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller <[email protected]>
  SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
  Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty
Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.
Usage: /usr/bin/cdrdao write [options] toc-file
options:
  --device <x,y,z>        - sets SCSI device of CD-writer
                            (default: 0,0,0)
  --driver <id>           - force usage of specified driver
  --simulate              - just perform a write simulation
  --speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed
  --multi                 - session will not be not closed
  --overburn              - allow to overburn a medium
  --eject                 - ejects cd after writing or simulation
  --swap                  - swap byte order of audio files
  --buffers #             - sets fifo buffer size (min. 10)
  --reload                - reload the disk if necessary for writing
  --force                 - force execution of operation
  -v #                    - sets verbose level
  -n                      - no pause before writing

So, does "illegal option" mean:
that it is not correct for the drive, or
that CDRDAO cannot find what it needs to use the drivers, or
what ???

I looked at /var/log/messages and I see:

Aug 16 08:30:51 linux kernel: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id

Looking at /var/log/boot.msg I see (Note the error number 2 below):

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
