unfortunately this isn't so

cdrecord itself only works as root
as user, the list of supported modes remains empty, and trying to burn anway 
gives the error
cdrecord: Drive does not support <whatever i try> recording.
cdrecord: Illegal write mode for this drive.

k3b is just a frontend. the reaction on the empty modes list is quite correct 
actually, because cdrecord itself behaves the same
