can not get cdrecord to determine what my device is for cd recording. i can utilize my cd-rw just fine with other apps, i can mount it and read info from cds in the drive.. xcdroast can find the cd-rw ...so it seems like something is wrong with cdrecord but i'm not dev.

if you try cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI (for those non-scsi drives), you might have more luck. right now that's what i hafta do (though it's not documented)
Recommend closing INVALID and adding an einfo about ATAPI scanbus in pkg_postinst().
Add einfo to ebuilds: pkg_postinst() { einfo "The command line option dev=ATAPI should be added for IDE cd writers." } Suggest -> resolved.
Added to the ebuild. Though it is documented in cdrecord's man-page and the output of cdrecord dev=help
