I don't know about cdrecord, but grip and cdparanoia are still broken
with 349 and my USB CD-RW drive.  I still get:

   Error trying to open /dev/sg0 exclusively (No such device or 
address). retrying in 1 second

  ...and failure to rip any tracks.

Also, 349 seems to ignore "selinux=0" argument?
