Ish... cdio looks like it could be a good start, but there's clearly a
lot of work to do yet.

What I'm really aiming for is a core library to encapsulate most of
the functions that cdrecord currently has. That would allow all the
3rd-party front ends like k3b, xcdroast etc. to simply link with a
library rather than having to wrap cdrecord. Then the "freedrecord"
command itself would just be a thin wrapper around that library.

Of course, actually working out a useable library interface may take
quite some time. :-/
