Will the many apps which depend upon the existing code-- e.g., grip, k3b, gnome-cd-- still work after installing your software?

You can install Joerg's version to someplace separate, like /usr/local, then test those dependent apps against the /usr/local version. I do not use these programs, so I don't know exactly how they work--if they are built against cdrecord libraries, this process might be challenging, but if they are just calling external helper programs it might be easy to configure e.g. k3b to use the /usr/local versions.

I hope that's helpful.
