Hi;
Its never been a necessity in my experience. It is, rather
a safeguard against buffer underruns. Ive never bothered to run it
suid root, or as root. Or rather, I have avoided doing that.

Ah ok, I never looked closer. Do you know whether this maximum
priority for cdrecord and the like is still a necessity on
contemporary machines and kernels?

What would be the point of that? cdrecord runs at the
maximum RT priority so of course it will cause xruns, it's
the expected behavior. Over these nearly 3 days of constant operation
I've had
about 41 xruns (as best as I can tell, related to major
program startup (things like openoffice) and heavy
swapping). The maximum scheduling latency was 31.177
msec.
Have you tried cdparanoia / cdrecord as workload?
