Would it not be a bit weird to be working on something like Xfburn-ng
while the first generation is still a relatively new project that's yet
to reach a stable release. This list has already come to the conclusion
that there is no obvious replacement for Xfburn in Xubuntu, so one would
think that the most sensible course of action is to help Mr Wauthy fix
it's shortcomings (contributing code if possible, bug reports and
encouragement in any case) instead of looking for something else to fork.
Xfburn trunk uses libburn instead of cdrecord by the way and could soon
be what you're all looking for. Sadly it seems that the sole developer
is too busy with other things to make this happen in a timely manner, at
least without outside help.

It would indeed be preferable that Xfburn be improved dramatically.
Currently on my Windows partition, I've got a Free app called InfraRecorder
(http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/). This is exactly the kind of thing
that I'd like Xfburn to become. It handles all of the things you'd like to
use a CD/DVD burner for, has a clean, minimal interface (even uses the Tango
icons) and isn't burdened with the superfluous features that other burners
tend to integrate (audio ripping, etc). The installer only weighs in at a
2.56 MB too. I recommend anyone with a Windows partition/machine to take a
look at it.
