What device have you specified for the CD writer? You need to use
/dev/sga, /dev/sgb, etc., not /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd0.
This does not belong on either linux-kernel or linux-sound. Get the
CD-Writer Mini-HOWTO and subscribe yourself to the cdwrite mailing list by
sending a request to cdwrite-request@pixar.com.
