This won't fix anything, as it should be setuid also then. cdrecord is able to work 100% correctly with root:root ownership and 755 permissions when your CD-Recorder is set to root:optical and you're in the optical group. The problem that we have at this moment is that cdrecord does things the linuxkernel doesn't allow, which will never get fixed by the original author of the software, since he believes it's a bug in linux and we should switch to solaris instead.
Replacing cdrtools with debian's cdrkit fork should solve all possible problems with cdrecord at this moment.
