2.6.8 and CD recording
By far the loudest chorus of complaints about the 2.6.8.1 kernel comes 
from users who have found that they can no longer burn CDs. In most

program from a root shell (setuid is not sufficient), but that is an 
unsatisfying alternative for many. Why, ask inquiring minds, did CD 
recording have to break with the new kernel?
