Well, one thing that bothers me is that your system is not able to
keep the fifo or the drive buffer full, which considering that 32x is
only 4.8MB/s, it should be able to.  Possibly you have something
misconfigured, but I don't know what.

1. Check your cabling and drive jumpers.  (Is this the only device on
the secondary channel?)

2. Check that DMA is enabled for your hard drive (hdparm /dev/hdX).

3. If by chance the drive you are reading from is hdd, use -immed with cdrecord.

Also, try dropping to 16x or even 8x and see if the results improve.
