As I said, the current one. Linux, as that's what we're talking about.

Searching through my logs, I burnt for example this
Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a12
Profile: DVD+RW (current)
in Mar 2003. As I said, years ago.

Pioneer A106. I.e. not Ricoh.

Yes. Very. And look, here, the software agrees with me too:

Current: DVD+RW
Profile: DVD+R 
Profile: DVD+RW (current)
Profile: DVD-RW sequential overwrite 
Profile: DVD-RW restricted overwrite 
Profile: DVD-R sequential recording 
Profile: DVD-ROM 
Profile: CD-RW 
Profile: CD-R 
Profile: CD-ROM 

Jörg writes about -prodvd in the README dated Aug 2004 (and Oct 05):

        only. This is the reason why support for DVD+R/RW did appear first
        at 14.4.2003 in cdrecord-ProDVD. These drives use a completely
        different command set and completely different usage paradigmas.
        As I received the DVD+R/RW drive samples too late for the 2.0 release
        (although developer samples have been available more than 6 months
        earlier) DVD+ support is only available in release 2.01.

The way I read that is that the software is expected to burn DVD+R(W)
media in those drives capable of doing so. So my advice that it's
expected to work was correct (whether I've read the -prodvd manual or
not).

Typical for people with an I-know-it-all attitude problem to not admit
when they've been wrong. Especially when they've just let off a personal
tirade on false grounds.
