This is probably because you are running UAE as a user without permission to
access /dev/sg0. cdrecord works on your set-up because cdrecord has been
installed with SUID root.
Solutions:
a) Run uae as root. Simple, but probably not a good idea.
b) Give yourself permission to access /dev/sg0. One means of doing this would
to change /dev/sg0 to being accessible by the group cdrom (and add yourself
to the this group, if you're not already a member).
For example, as root, do:
chgrp cdrom /dev/sg0
chmod g+rw /dev/sg0
c) Build a version of UAE without the GTK+ GUI and install it with SUID root.
(GTK+ won't let you run a program SUID root, and so with the latest version
of UAE you cannot start UAE at all. An oversight on my part, which I should
correct.)
Cheers,
Rich
