You are using the target drive as source of the
data stream.
It should be
wodim blank=all dev=/dev/hdc TRACK_SOUCRE
where TRACK_SOURCE is either a file address with
the data you want to burn or "-" for standard input.
The latter would need some other process which creates
the image on the fly:
genisoimage ... | wodim ... -

None of these seem necessary for now.
Despite the various warnings and complaints, the drive
was found and responded on some capability tests:
> Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R16 RAW/R96P RAW/R96R
With cdrkit on CD-R[W] you have to get familiar
with genisoimage or audio converters for the content
preparation, and with wodim for the media burning.
As an alternative for data (not audio CD) i could offer
my own software xorriso which combines data formatting
and media burning in a single program.
But possibly you will rather be interested in GUI programs:
K3b, Nautilus CD burner, xfburn, ...
They usually hide the dirty details of our burn engines :))
Have a nice day :)
