Excellent explanation, just a couple of additional points ... 

If you rebuild cdrdao from source, you can make it use the latest 
libraries from your cdrecord installation. This lets cdrdao work 
without scsi emulation. Sorry I can't remember the exact configure 
options, but the install doc explains everything clearly.

Scsi emulation is going away in 2.6, so everyone using ids-scsi needs 
to get ready.

Does anyone know how to set K3B so it doesn't use cdrdao at all?
