I assume cdrecord is being invoked from a system command, right?
Have you considered prefixing that command with `sudo`, and going into
the sudoers file to allow the www user that privilige?
Of course, it would be a bit more complicated than that, as sudo will
prompt for a password that you have to pass back to it somehow, but
after hurdle that I suspect that it should work fine...
Alternatively, have you considered using Webmin? Webmin is a way to do
various system administration tasks through a web browser, and there
appears to be a cdrecord based plugin for it:

Webmin site:

The Book of Webmin (not pirated -- it's at the author's site):

This may be an easier approach to the problem...
