Well, xcdroast is primarily a graphical front-end for cdrecord.

And in the FC2 Release Notes, it says that there is new Linux support 
for ATAPI devices.  xcdroast sees them as ATAPI:0,0,0 for example, and 
cdrecord will support either --dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 or --dev=/dev/hdc

My guess is that the warning from xcdroast is "out of date"....

No, I haven't tried it yet....   YMMV
