xcdroast and k3b non-root permissions?

[Matthew Rex]

I've just re-installed a RH7.3 box with FC3, and am sorting through the
differences. So I have a few queries:

Is xcdroast still not compiled for non-root usage in FC3? Why? What's
the easiest way to fix that? Is there a repo (DAG?) that has the
non-root version available?

I started looking at k3b - it also seems to only work when run as root.
It mentions changing permissions on the CD writer device to allow
non-root usage. Is this safe? Is there another way? The k3b site doesn't
seem to mention this.

Finally, Do I need to do anything about sound server startup (this
machine is a headless server in run-level 3) - how do I stop k3b (and
other apps) trying to use non-existent sound devices?

Thanks, 
Matt.
