I assume cdrecord is being invoked from a system command, right?

Have you considered prefixing that command with `sudo`, and going into the sudoers file to allow the www user that privilige?

Of course, it would be a bit more complicated than that, as sudo will prompt for a password that you have to pass back to it somehow, but after hurdle that I suspect that it should work fine...

You can use the 'NOPASSWD' flag in the sudoers file for a particular command/alias, etc. so that the user does not have to enter a password.
