Yes it is. I use it. sysutils/cdrtools.

I hope you have a SCSI cdrom. 

Otherwise, you're entering a DMZ: there are patches to allow "ATAPICAM"
so that the ATAPI driver can be accessed like the SCSI driver. However,
there is some contentious situtation about this, of which I know not
details, wherein the patches are apprently being blocked from inclusion
in the kernel (or something like that).

(If that is the case, then I can only suggest you search the mail
archives for -STABLE and -CURRENT and then  possibly ask on -CURRENT.)

FWIW ATAPICAM is the concept that linux uses with ATAPI-SCSI-emulation,
which is somewhat ironic, since an ATAPI CD is really a [more-or-less]
SCSI device where the SCSI-commands are tunnelled through IDE protocol. 
Also, the implementation on Linux blows dead bears (or *did*) in terms
of speed, reliability, and not-having-to-reboot-your-box; keeping a
straightened paper clip handy was also a good idea for those special
times when you just *had* to get the CDROM out of the drive without a
reboot. It's why I use SCSI CDROM/CDRW devices.
