You failed to mention the CentOS version and kernel ver.
I tried cdrecord here (CentOS 4.2, 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL) just a few minutes ago:

[rj at mavis ~]$ cdrecord -dao /home/rj/FC3-i386-disc1.iso
...with the results:
<snip>
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed  48.0 in real SAO mode for single session.
Last chance to quit, starting real write    0 seconds. Operation starts.
trackno=0
cdrecord: WARNING: Drive returns wrong startsec (0) using -150
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 646987776/646987776 (315912 sectors).
[rj at mavis ~]$                                                           

Other possibly pertinent information:
[root at mavis ~]# ls -l /dev | grep cdr
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root          3 Dec 11 06:56 cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root          3 Dec 11 06:56 cdrom1 -> hdd

[root at mavis ~]# cat /etc/cdrecord.conf | grep -v ^#
CDR_DEVICE=cdrom


CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m

cdrom=          /dev/cdrom      -1      -1      burnfree
[root at mavis ~]#                                           

I hope this helps.
