I also like the idea of using xml for the file format. I just pointed 
that then you are tied to the gnome burning tools.

This can be solved making a simple command line program that supports 
reading this xml and then use the bonobo object or the shared lib to do 
the work.

So basically the GUI builds the compilation, writes an xml file and 
passes it as a parameter to "gnome-burn".

Write a .toc or .cue from the xml will be an added feature.

There is still the problem of reading .toc and .cue file formats.
