Unfortunately, you *CANNOT* use the cdrecord port with this unit. This is because cdrecord uses the SCSI device layer to talk to the device, while the ATAPI drivers don't. So, until someone writes a layer to translate between SCSI <--> ATAPI calls (like the `scsi-over-IDE' hack present in Linux), we cannot use cdreocrd. However, there are a perfectly good set of tools already built in to the FreeBSD system that you can use. Look under the /usr/share/examples/atapi directory, and you will see some example scripts for buring data &/or audio. They worked fine for me.
