It would be very interesting to test cdskin as a replacement of
cdrecord for nautilus-cd-burn. I am the developer of Serpentine[1], a
audio-cd writer software which uses nautilus-cd-burn. So if serpentine
works with cdrskin that means that:
 1- cdskin is compatible with nautilus-cd-burner (at least in the audio part)
 -2 cdskin can burn audio cds

As a side note, could libburn be released as LGPL?

One problem I'm facing with serpentine is that nautilus-cd-burner is GPL.

Since GPL is incompatible with patent libraries it's incompatible with
gstreamer's mp3 decoding plugin.

If libburn was LGPL I could change serpentine's license to LGPL and
ship it with gstreamer+mp3 whithout licensing problems.
