Full ACK! If I want an Audio CD, I want do use the same application, as
I use for my data- or video-CD's etc. No one wants to use more than one
application to burn things (from an desktop users point of view, not an
unix users point of view :-)).

I think k3b (http://www.k3b.org/) is an good example what a burning
application has to be (please do not kill me for giving KDE tools as an
good example ;-)). It is very powerfull, easy to use and it can play the
music your are burning, if you want, but overall it is a burning
application not a music player. People want it IMHO that way, not the
other way round.
