There will soon be a better way - Linus himself mentioned using the standard IDE devices for cd recording, last Tuesday. Expect to see cd recording with native IDE devices once the 2.6 kernel is ready. Incidently, IDE devices masquerading as SCSI is not as unusual as it might first appear - ATAPI is basically a way to send SCSI commands over the IDE bus.
