This is true, it has set stricter permissions for devices, thus the 
average user cannot burn a cd.

I'm running the lastest Ubuntu kernel and it seems to include a fix to 
allow this to work, previously I used to run 2.6.7 on Sid.

Also to allow the user to actually create cd's.

Just setuid cdrecord* cdrdao:

chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord*
chmod +x /usr/bin/cdrdao

At least I think it's /usr/bin, it may be just /bin.
