Waiting for a better solution, in Mandrakelinux I have deactivated the
suid bit of cdrecord. cdrecord works well as user (it doesn't if the
binary is suid), except it cannot set high priority, but on recent
hardware this is not very problematic, moreover having one less suid
binary on the system is not so bad.
