First, I do not know what 'new cdrecord' you are referring to. The version from the ports tree does *not* use the FreeBSD ATAPI API. I do not know of any cdrecord version that does, besides the one patched by Søren. Second, cdrecord is not the only application that may potentially talk to an ATAPI device. Even if you consider only CD units, think cdrdao and cdparanoia. Third, ATAPI/CAM allows the use of the standard SCSI disk, CD-ROM and tape drivers for ATAPI devices as well as SCSI devices, instead of the alternative acd, ast and afd drivers.
