Because there is an entry for the device in /dev, Debian recognised it and has 
a driver for it.

I think that you still must add your userid to the group that has access to the 
device. First, find out the device's group:

$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw---T+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 jan 30 11:45 /dev/sr0

In my case, the device's name is /dev/sr0. It may differ in your situation.

Then, as root, add your userid to the devices group:
# adduser andrey cdrom

I assume that your userid is andrey...

Then, log out and log in again, until then the group change will have no effect.
