Exactly this question is answered in lenght on the webpage linked in [1]
above, see section "Why ? And why a patch for cdrecord ?". What You
propose sounds like point 2: "completely in userland, encrypting the ISO
and burn it the usual way". The patch in question attempts point 5
"between userland and kernel".

More specifically, this patch creates a LUKS header on the image. I'm
not aware of any pipe like wrapper which supports LUKS. [2]
