Actually, more precisely, burning direct to IDE CD burners is supported in 
2.6.X kernels without IDE-SCSI, but you can still use IDE-SCSI if you 
wish.  It's just no longer necessary.  I guess there are still some 
reasons to keep it around, or they would probably drop it.  I recall that 
the documentation for cdparanoia suggests that if you have trouble getting 
your CDROM drive to extract audio, try it with IDE-SCSI emulation.  Of 
course, that program was written way before 2.6 kernels, so maybe that's 
no longer true either.
