ATA_CAM, cd0 vs. acd0, CD-Burning and GNOME

Hi,

On freebsd-current, there was this thread recently about burncd not
working because of the ATA_CAM option being enabled in the GENERIC kernel by
default:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-September/027599.html

The remedy for burncd is to use cdrtools from ports for burning CD's,
and to /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0 (since ATAPI CD-ROM's appear with
/dev/cd0 when ATA_CAM is enabled).

Will this change have any impact on GNOME and Brasero, or will it be
transparent to users?
