xcdroast is a front end for mkisofs/cdda2wav/cdrecord.

Type:

cdrecord -scanbus

to make sure cdrecord can see the drive.  If so, try burning your CD
with mkisofs/cdda2wav/cdrecord (to see if xcdroast is the problem):

data:
mkisofs -R -J -D -L -l -o my.iso /path/to/dir
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -data my.iso

audio:
cdda2wav -H -B -D /dev/scd0
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav

Note that dev=<controller>,<id>,<lun> as presented by
'cdrecord -scanbus'.
