While I have not had time to narrow it down, I have also had problems 
with burning DVD+R on my drive (LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S 9L09) with the 
ahci driver on 8-STABLE using cdrecord.  However, CD-RW's and DVD+RW's 
are not a problem.  At the beginning of a failed burn, it seems like 
there is a short pause near the beginning (maybe after a block or two 
has been written, but I do not recall).

If I find time, I will try again to burn a disc along with collecting 
all the debugging information I can.

One thing I need to try, and you may too, is to see if there are any 
firmware updates for the drive.  I see there is one for mine which I 
will try.  Unfortunately, it does not say on the site what it improves 
unless the "Match more media" is it.
