If you ever tried to make a copy of a cd with cdrdao, you probably

That also holds true for cdrecord.
Well, I don't like my cd to be configured like a SCSI just to use
cdrdao.
Now, why is that?
Wouldn't anyone have a good idea to allow normal program to use
my cd on /dev/hdb like it should be while being able to use cdrdao to
read the cd in scsi mode when I need it.
"like it should be"? I don't see any problem with using scsi emulation
all the time.
I already tried to compile scsi as module and load ide-scsi when I need
it but I can't seem to explain the kernel it should "convert" the cd
back to IDE mode when I unload ide-scsi... is there something I missed here?
I never use my IDE CD-R in ide mode, what's the gain?
