No, there's no need.

ide-scsi is not the only way to burn CDs. Newer versions of cdrecord
can burn directly with the basic CDROM driver in linux.

Yes. I have 2.2.0, 2.4.0, and 2.6.0 on a CD, as well as the patches to the
latest versions. 2.2.26 is best for my desktop, 2.4 does ACPI for my laptop,
and I haven't found a use for 2.6 yet.

If I do this, it will be a long time in the future.

I don't have an sb16 so I don't think that would be very useful
to me. :)
