Hi,

is xcdroast broken?
 Because you do not have to fiddle around with 'sudo' just to burn as user.
If xcdroast needs root-rights for itself, something is very wrong with it.

Be in the 'cdrw' group. Have the cdrecorder device (like hdc, or 
bus1/target0/cd) in the cdrw group. Have it group right/writeable.

Remove the suid root bit from cdrecord 
Burn.

It is really that easy, it only hangs if:
cdrecord is suid root.
The permissions in /dev are not 'ok'. 
The permissions for cdrecord are not 'ok'.

If xcdroast forces you, to punch holes in your system with sudo, it may be 
time to look for a better alternative.
