That sounds promising. So in your opinion everything could be done with
using on-the-fly image generation and passing it to growisofs as a named
pipe?

What amount of changes would this require in brasero? For example does
it need libburnia integration in the growisofs plugin itself, or could
it use the available functions in other plugins?

Sorry but mkisofs is not an option, since working UTF-8 support is a
must for us.

Furthermore, the upstream author turned out to be very uncooperative,
regularly issuing threats and insults. I don’t want these packages to
rely on his software in any kind of way - that includes genisoimage,
which he originally wrote.
