You can use the realtime LSM (see list archives) to let specific groups
of users use mlockall and run RT tasks. Just load it like:
modprobe realtime gid=29
and make gid 29 your "cdrecord" group.
This should make CD burning as joeuser reliable as root. Most people
use this for low latency audio but I think cd burning is a wider and
completely unexplored application.

I get that all the time, because one of my drives doesn't support TAO
burning. I suspect your firmware sucks, and you will have to use session
at a time rather than track at a time, option "-sao" works for me. Are
you running standard cdrecord or one of the hacks?

Look at what I quoted above. It is the same box, just running cdrecord
as root or as user. The 'Supported modes:' line is empty.
What has the firmware to do with that ?
A guess: perhaps the problem is:
WARNING ! Cannot gain SYS_RAWIO capability !
: Operation not permitted
as user, so system does not allow the user to query the drive at low
level via some ioctl() or the liketo get the supported modes.
BTW, using the LSM realtime module for group cdwriter (80 in my box)
killed this messages:
cdrecord: Cannot allocate memory. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2).
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.
cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority().
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.
so at least this is good (TM).

Why not use "dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdd" or whatever device in /dev/ is
your burner...?

Sth. seems to be wrong here. When I do this as user I get
...
Use of ATA is preferred over ATAPI.
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related libscg interface code is in pre alpha.
Warning: There may be fatal problems.
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
...
so it seems that your kernel is still blocking some command in the userland.
This might cause your problems, because I get the same write modes as user
that I get as root. I use 2.6.9 but have allowed some more commands for
users. You can add this in linux/drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c to see if
some commands are blocked as user:
