Yes, I have successfully used the 2.6 kernel & K3b to burn cdr's and 
DVD's +/- x4 & x8 with no coasters at all.
It is a good setup.
I would still like the option to mount a dvd writer with 'ide-scsi' just 
to read the media codes.
I would never consider using ide-scsi for burning again.

The option to set the write speed not being able to be set has not been 
a problem. K3b seems to handle the speed with relation to the blank 
media's capability very well.  (DVD is a Pioneer 107).
