I thought the burning speed was just a matter of mecanical security when burning CD-R, in order to avoid a failure in this process?

It is true - slower burn speeds are better for audio files, but picture files are unaffected - i have heard this from a number of IT technicians, though burning audio files onto a CD can eventually become unstable however slowly you burn them, recently i took my collection of 500 burned CD's to the dump as they were becoming unstable after about 8 or 10 years .

When Itunes asks you what speed you want to create an audio CD- does it matter what speed you choose? Will maximum speed vs. say, 8x speed create a slight difference in sound? Why does part of me feel that the slower you choose, the better the CD may sound? This probably sounds ludicrous. Embarrassed
