Have you tried something like:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/cdrom.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

/* Max it out */
#define HOWFAST 0

main(int ac, char ** av)
{
char * device = "/dev/scd0";
int fd;
int status;
fd = open(device, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("Can't open device: ");
exit(-2);
}
/* `0' means auto-selection, you might also try big numbers :) */
status=ioctl(fd, CDROM_SELECT_SPEED, 0);
if (status) {
perror("Can't set speed: ");
exit(-1);
}
}

Also check out the drive speed field when running
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
and see if it changes when running the setspeed app.
