Remove the suid bit on cdrecord and run it behind sudo instead. You will
get back the functionality that Joerg has given us over the years.

For example:  sudo k3b
Very important - run visudo as root to give that user NOPASSWD on k3b:

  pigeon  ALL = PASSWD: ALL, NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/k3b

Test it from a command line, using "sudo -K" in between attempts. You can
append ", /usr/bin/cdrecord" to the above line to permit command line use
of "sudo cdrecord some.iso".

I'm using a vanilla kernel-2.6.10 and have CDR_DEVICE=ATAPI:0,0,0 defined
in /etc/default/cdrecord. The K3B icon has been modified to use "sudo k3b"
under the icon properties>application>command.
