Cdrdao in Sid does support atapi on kernel 2.6.  And yes, the problem
appears to be related to cdrdao using the new atapi interface.  K3b assumes
that cdrdao can't handle it.

I should file a bug report, but I haven't tested this much.  I just wanted
something that would quickly work for me.  Can you test if the patch works
for you too?  If so, I'll file a report and include the little kludge.
