I don't have access to my laptop (where I recently dealt with this), but
/etc/devfs.conf (i think) has places where you can set the permission to
devices.  I believe I did 0666 (read/write to all) for acd0, cdrom0, pass0,
and perhaps 1 other.  After that (and manually setting perms to /dev/<list>=
)
I was able to use k3b without being root.

Hope this helps.
