nautilus-cd-burner was never meant to be the be-all end-all of cd
burning apps. When I created it the plan was:

* Make it easy to use to just burn some files on a cd.
* Add an app that is easy to use to clone cds
* Integrate audio cd burning into rhythmbox or equivalent app
* Have a "full" nero/k3b style burning app for more complicated use

We still don't have a cloning app, but readcd -clone/cdrecord -clone in
recent versions of cdrecord should make that easy. We're starting to see
apps like gthumb and rhythmbox integrate cd burning using nautilus-cd-
burner. However, we still don't have any full cd burning app in good
enough state yet.
