Hi, the best way to deal with your problem is to just install an original version of cdrtools from:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ recent versions include a workaround to include the ATA drives in the SCSI namespace. This allows cdrecord to again find all drives via cdrecord -scanbus and to implement an auto-target mode that lets cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav find the drive automagically if you omit dev= and if there is only one CD/DVD drive in the system. The original software did fix dozens of bugs in the close past and added many interesting features you might be interested in..... ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ is where active development and maintenance takes place. Wodim is just a frozen version from the past. Why make another program incompatible instead of using the software it was designed for?
