Well, for one, CD burning would be better off in a separate process than
the main app, just for the sake of retaining interactivity without the
chance of buffer-underrun.  And, while threads can manage that, a bonobo
interface would be more capable of queuing burning requests, no? 
Something like if I tell Rythmbox to burn a Rock CD and an Anime
Soundtrack CD, it would make both requests, those would get queued by an
interface activated thru bonobo, which would burn, handle notification,
etc. etc.

Granted, I'm not in any way familiar with the intricacies of this stuff,
so maybe I'm just babbling out my arse again... ~,^
