Hmm.  I was assuming that the tricky bit was getting the audio from
vinyl LPs and into wav files, not the actual burning of CDs.  K3b is
my preferred tool for burning CDs and DVDs and can handle various
types of sound files being dropped onto a window (as in most Windows
CD burning software) to make an audio CD.  The GNOME alternatives seem
to be lagging quite a bit behind at the moment, from what I can see,
though the integrated nautilus CD burner is faster and simpler for
just getting data or an ISO onto a disc.

(Which doesn't seem to work in recent kernels, due to disputes between
the cdrecord author and the kernel guys on how ATAPI CD burners should
work.)
