See my previous posting on this issue.  I have a dvd/cd burner and can 
burn dvds as anyone, cds only as root.  Until I set it up to use sudo to 
burn cds as follows:

execution of k3b:

sudo k3b

entry in /etc/sudo

user  host =  NOPASSWD: /opt/kde3/bin/k3b

user above is the user id you want to be able to run k3b as root without 
requiring a password

host above restricts the execution to this 'host'

NOPASSWD permits the identified user on the identified host to execute 
/opt/kde3/bin/k3b as root without a passwd
