The default Backend for brasero is the cdrkit/cdrtools. To enable the
libburn backend you need to turn it on, on gconf. From libburn,
libisofs is suppose to replace growisofs and genisoimage but maybe our
backend is a little outdate. The problem imo is that libburn is still
under development so the API isn't very stable so we don't update it
very frequently but of course we need to update it for 0.7.0 or 0.6.1
release.
