1) For modules, you have to do special things in /etc/devfsd.conf.

E.g.: My sound driver is a module, so I had to add:
REGISTER        dsp             MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER      dsp             RMOLDCOMPAT
LOOKUP          dsp             MODLOAD
REGISTER        dsp             PERMISSIONS paul.paul rw-rw-rw-

(The above is probably non-optimal, but it does work.)

2) CD-burning apps do things through SCSI (or SCSI emulation for ATAPI
drives). (AFAIUI.)
