I got Brasero to recognize and write to a cd by going into the Root file system, then changing group permissions on /cdrom, /dev/cdrom1, and /dev/cdrw1 to myself, then changed group Folder Access to: Create and Delete Files. Don't know which one did the trick or if it was necessary to change permissions on all three, but it worked for me. I haven't tried it on any other burning software yet.
