The reason you need root for this is that some (or maybe all) discs are authored with about the worst rights you can get. You can't even fully see what's on the disc without root rights. And no fileaccess means no decrypting.
If I'm not mistaken the kernel is responsible for granting access to devices and it can't just grant access without valid rights. Would be a mess if this could easily be circumvented. The downside is that this restriction is kind of annoying in our situation. But the problem is caused by the way the discs are authored.
Would be nice if this can be solved though.
