I can't help you with the KDE stuff, but I've been happy with using 
cdda2wav to read a CD, then cdrecord to burn [both are in ports, part of 
sysutils/cdrtools]. lame [audio/lame] works well for making mp3s. 
However, I haven't tried making mp3s simultaeously with either reading 
or burning a CD. My computer is better at multitasking than I am.

BTW, cdrtools is worth having; it also gives you mkisofs for creating 
burnable data CD images, plus some other useful-looking things that I 
don't know enough about to comment on.
