the helper apps of k3b & X-CDRoast and others require root access -- the
cdrecord & other binaries have to be setuid & owned by root.  k3b has a
nice way of making that change for you that the other apps lack, so it
may seem like "k3b doesn't require root".  I think that's what the OP
should have meant.
