I also need passthrough for DVD burner. I followed instructions in the 
mentioned wiki page, but can't find how to add passthrough.
My device is attached as SCSI:
cd0: <PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-112D 1.21> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
Permissions are right: crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 108 Jan 26 
01:34 /dev/cd0
hald is running: 53792  ??  S        0:00.06 hald-addon-storage: 
/dev/cd0 (hald-addon-storage)
and atapicam is compiled into kernel.

So in guest Settings/Storage I added SCSI Controller, but gui options 
only offer me to "Add Hard Disk", not DVD drive.
