The kernel should allow access to only a specific device (eg the cd-recorder). accesses to other devices sould be blocked by the kernel (in the kernel-setup you have to give a list of BUS/ID/LUN-Komponents the kernel should allow to control by software OR you have an external software, which tells the kernel which device may be accessed by using general scsi-interface). This feature should make roasting a cd less unsecure and we may think about a non-root cd-record.
