Not really. The nautilus integrated functionallity is meant for quickly
burning a few files on a cd. If you want to do different things, like
burning an audio cd my view on this is that a dedicated audio app should
handle that. And, in fact, rhythmbox cvs does this. (They all share code
from nautilus-cd-burner though.)

I also think a k3b-like app would make sense.
