Not sure sure but almost sure. :-) What ide-scsi does is borrowing SCSI mid and high level drivers while using ide as SCSI low level driver. To SCSI, libata and ide-scsi aren't very different except that libata also exports SBC device to it. So, if SCSI could handle ATAPI disk via ide-scsi, I don't think there is any reason it can't with libata.
