Looks like sg isn't going to work, then. It would be a massive undertaking to port brasero to CAM the way it is now since only a file descriptor is passed to the SCSI code, and CAM would require the whole path (or a cam device struct). This will mean lots of ifdefs. What might be better is to conditionalize the SCSI backend (maybe create a pluggable medium backends), and add either a HAL or a CAM backend to that. I don't have the time to lay this framework, but if the brasero people did it, I would add the CAM backend (and HAL is already there).
