The solution to your problem is rather well hidden deep in cdrecords man
page:
If you don't want to allow users to become root on your
system, cdrecord may safely be installed suid root. This
allows all users or a group of users with no root privi
leges to use cdrecord. Cdrecord in this case checks, if
the real user would have been able to read the specified
files. To give all user access to use cdrecord, enter:
chown root /usr/local/bin/cdrecord
chmod 4711 /usr/local/bin/cdrecord
To give a restricted group of users access to cdrecord
enter:
chown root /usr/local/bin/cdrecord
chgrp cdburners /usr/local/bin/cdrecord
chmod 4710 /usr/local/bin/cdrecord
and add a group cdburners on your system.
Never give write permissions for non root users to the
/dev/scg? devices unless you would allow anybody to
read/write/format all your disks.
I've done this on my system, and it works well.
