Well, there are standalone CD burners that DO record on the fly. So it can be done, it's just a matter of whether it can be done with a computer.

Recording to HDD first and then to CD takes more time. What I want is the ability to do a quick one-off of a mix I'm working on outside the computer in the studio, so I can go reference it elsewhere. The way I currently accomplish this is to either (depends which studo I'm in) use a standalone CD burner, or do exactly what you suggested. It's a lot more convenient to open the CD, press record, and simply mix, dropping markers as I go. Dumping into the computer takes serveral extra steps...saving the file, creating the CD in (insert audio CD program) and then actually waiting while the CD burns.

I'm pretty sure the reason that no one has done it is that no one has recognized the market that may actually use it.
