I now understand the problem has nothing to do with filesystems, except the UDF overhead problem (and ISO-9660 compatibilty), as it's the only usable CD/DVD RW filesystem (because it can be read everywhere).

It seems the problem is only on the software side (for modern RW drives, I mean), and maybe cdrecord "flame wars" have delayed the adoption of a standard linux solution for the typical user cases (like maybe a FUSE DVD UDF filesystem that works the same as a USB pen, i.e. can add/delete files on the fly).

Well, I still have a lot of doubts about the process, but the truth is this thread is becoming off topic so I'll refrain my thoughts for latter times.

We already have exactly that feature: the packet-writing driver. If you're
packet-writing to CD-RW (or DVD-RW) you don't *need* cdrecord, or FUSE.

(It does indeed have significant overhead, as you say.)
