Well this is true... Brasero gobject-introspection won't let you do
more than this.
To burn the disc you have to use the GUI.

Try looking at libburnia python bindings (which seem very
outdated/experimental) or use directly
cdrkit/cdrtools via direct syscalls system() or popen() which is what
brasero does.

Hope it helps
