I believe it would work, but only at very low writing speeds. A 1x burn speed is only a 150 KB per second to the CD-R media (according to Sony, and Wikipedia backs that up)

Also, from Memorex:

"CD & DVD Drives: My recordings fail due to "buffer underrun". What does that mean?

"Buffer underrun" occurs when the drive asks for data to burn on a disc at a rate faster than the computer can provide. The computer's buffer memory storage can run out and interrupt the data stream. There are several ways to avoid this problem:
 
1. Let the computer's RAM memory concentrate only on disc burning by making sure you shut down all other applications, even those running "in the background" such as anti-virus programs. 2. Defragment the hard drive so files run contiguously and the drive does not have to hunt for missing pieces. 3. Record at a slower speed."

Doing DAO, with enough RAM for buffer, and ensuring that the files to be burnt are all in one place, in one piece, I think it's entirely possible.
