CD Recording
Under the new 2.6 kernels, SCSI emulation for IDE CD/DVD-R[W] drives is no longer required or desired.
To see a list of available ATA devices, try
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA
On my machine, the command to write an ISO image is:
cdrecord dev=ATA:0,1,0 myISOimage.iso

uPnP servers
The DLink DMS-320 network media player looks for these new-fangled uPNP media servers. I have found three so far.
gmediaplayer is in debian testing.
ushare seems to be in ubuntu, but you may need to go to source for debian. Both seem to work (mostly).
I haven't looked into MediaTomb, but it seems to be on SourceForge.
I don't think any of these open source servers support transcoding. Geez. How hard could it be to hook into ffmpeg?
