    You need read access to the cdrom device files. If you don't use
    ide-scsi-Emulation (e.g. if your device files are /dev/hdx), make sure
    they belong to the cdrom group and that you are member of that group.
    If you use kernel 2.4 with ide-scsi emulation, make sure that /dev/sg*
    belongs to root.cdrom and has read/write access for the group. I think
    you also need these permissions if you want to write CDs without making
    the apps suid root.

    best regards
