[geeks] ide-scsi and cdparanoia

I now have only one CD-Rom in this linux machine, and it is an IDE
CD-RW, and thus needs SCSI-IDE emulation.  Now, /dev/sr0 is 
brw-rw-rw-    2 root     cdrom     11,   0 Jul  5  2000 /dev/sr0
so why can't a normal user use cdparanoia with this device, while root
can?  This wasn't a major problem, just log in as root.  However, root
can't right to the file server, and thanks to the recent disk failure, I
no longer have enough local space to hold the CD as it is ripped
locally.  

Anyone dealt with this?
