These seem to be good arguments against creating the burncd in the first 
place. However, the utility is upon us, is unlikely to go away soon, and 
provides useful functionality without further dependencies. There is no 
reason for a FreeBSD port of a CD-burning front-end to not recognize 
FreeBSD's native CD-burning back-end, other than "nobody got around to 
it yet" :-) My question seems answered now (no one else is doing it), 
and I'll try to make up a patch.

Patching cdrecord is _also_ a good idea, of course, but it seems more 
complex to me at the moment. Yours,
