cdrecord as root

Another option for giving cdrecord the root privileges it wants is to
trust only certain users with the ability to run it as root.

I use sudo to run cdrecord, with myself in the cdrom group and the
following line in /etc/sudoers:

%cdrom ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/cdrecord, /usr/bin/cdrdao

(OK, so the "cdrom" group is misnamed here....)
