No. You only need SCSI emulation if you wish to use a CD writer. As most Linux progs 
originally were written for Unix type systems where SCSI is very common if not 
standard, the various CD writing utils look for a SCSI CD writer.

SCSI emulation makes the IDE CD writer appear to the software as a SCSI device. Do not 
compile SCSI support and SCSI emulation into the kernel together. 

This, at least, is my understanding (I'll be flamed if this is incorrect :)!)
