You are incorrectly informed:
Writing CDs is a highly complex task. No known kernel is able to do that
internally.
So the only useful method is to use SCSI pass through.

Which interfaces for accessing these have been broken by which versions
of Linux? and cdrtools
e.g need to implement pass through SCSI.
Requiring "pass through SCSI" for a CD burner violates the UNIX
philosophy that everything is a file (which implies that reading and
writing data be implemented, where possible, through the read and write
system calls rather than through special interfaces specific to a device
type). So does requiring SCSI bus numbers rather than device
filenames.
SCSI bus numbers are part of the SCSI CAM Standard for SCSI addressing, you
are badly informed a second time.
