That was actually the intent; have the kernel deal with all the complicated stuff and have userspace just write to the device; additionally, the kernel ought to have ioctls that deal with the weird stuff (which would be called by cd/dvd-specific tools instead of having them know SCSI). The thread was "cd burning: kernel / userspace?"
