The ISO-9660 volume is 37 chars, in Joliet it is 18 chars and none can be 
extended.

See man page of mkisofs...

This cannot be from cdrecord

In such cases it helpt to try manually to use cdrecord -v -dao *.wav
See man page for other options. Cdrecord writes usefiul error mesages.
BTW: the design bug in hald (on Linux) will cause -dao to fail but not 
-raw96r

The last time, I checked DVD+RW did not support multi session.
What you see is a dirty hack from growisofs and problems are a result 
from this dirty hack.

Cdrecord supports real multi-border (the real name for the beast on DVDs)
for DVD-RW.
