You can burn CDs with Linux 2.4.22 and 2.6.X using
ATAPI implementation of these Kernels and cdrecord > 2.0.

ATAPI uses SCSI commandos but it just sends them
through other interfaces/busses. I don't know why you
should have better error correction with ide-scsi emulation
because ide-scsi is just a hack to use ATAPI devices. ide-scsi
is or was partially broken in Linux 2.6.
