I've gotten your bugzilla report and I have these patches applied to my
local copy. The next release of Coaster (beginning of May with audio
support) will have these patches. I need to get around to closing those
bugs ;).

If you would like, please take a look at libburn. I'd like to get HAL
support into it, put Joliet support into its libisofs (it's been
written, I just have to patch it in), and fix some endianness issues on
PowerPC (when you create an in-memory iso and write that directly to the
disc writer, it won't mount; however writing from an iso from the
filesystem works). Also, taking out all the C++ namespace stuff that
wraps the C functions is high priority for me.
> What remains for Coaster to become a full CD-burning solution?
I'd like to drop the nautilus-burn dependency. It's a pain and it uses
cdrecord/mkisofs/etc. If we can totally depend on libburn, we'd be set.

I have a repo set up on my laptop, but my web provider doesn't allow
apache to list directory contents, so I can't mirror it on my own
server. Hopefully in the next two weeks, I'll have a beta of the audio
stuff that people can test.

I know that I'm not. I have no money and no time. One of these years
I'm going to go ;).
