I have just verified that bug 226019 is still a problem. With cdrecord from home:/hennichodernich/ on 11.1 I am not able to burn a cd, unless I kill hald-addon-storage. I could reproduce it with all LG devices that I tested. This particular device was 'DVDRAM GSA-U10N '.
This bug is a Linux kernel bug - it needs to be fixed in the Linux kernel. Cdrecord powerless if the Linux kernel reports wrong DMA sizes. If killing hald helps, then this is a really obscure side effect. BTW cdrecord does not try to do more than 62 KB of DMA by default. If you have one of the problematic USB chips that use a driver that does not allow to do more than 32 kB DMA, you always may specify ts=32k with cdrecord, cdda2wav or readcd.
Also, cdrecord from that package is installed with suid root. I am quite sure that our security team won't like it.
The solutuion used by cdrecord is no security problem as cdrecord is carefully audited. There are other security problems on suse that result from the fact that the security issue that allowed non-root applications to send SCSI commands have not beed fixed correctly.
