Would it be a problem for you to set it up under sudo

4.22 How can this be set up so that a user can burn CDs instead of
always being root?

You can add the setuid-bit to the cdrecord-executable. However, this
might be a security risk. Just setting the permissions on the device
files does not help as cdrecord issues privileged commands via the SCSI
generic interfaces.

which cdrecord
chown root.root /usr/bin/cdrecord
chmod 4111 /usr/bin/cdrecord


	....is one way to do it.  Obviously the program is not
necessarily (or limited to) cdrecord.
