My local hacked up, temporary solution, can be found at

http://www.eskimo.com/~pburns/rob/Burn.app.tar.gz

It hard codes the device information for my atapi cdrw drive. I think 
the main thing was to add this line:

[drives addObject: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@: %@ %@ %@",
          @"ATAPI:0,0,0", @"my", @"custom", @"gadget"]];

to the availableDrives: method in the CDrecordController class. For a 
correct fix, I think that method would need to be modified to run 
cdrecord twice, with different arguments. Once for scsi drives and 
once for atapi drives.
