SCSI-Generic

I'm developing this cd-mastering application (similar to XCDRoast, but for NCurses) and have a major problem.

The maximum size I can read/write is 32Kb due to the size of the SCSI-generic buffer.

Anyone know if there are plans to increase this? Also, is there any way of somehow bypassing this limitation and asking for my buffer to be used instead of the kernel provided version? Ideally, I want to be able to read several megabytes at a time.

Is it possible to somehow bypass scsi-generic, and access scsi at a lower level, without writing a device driver?
