My k3b solution - launch from icon

[Tim Hull]

Well, of course the k3b package would have to be fixed up first (before 
it got added to main) it definitely isn't ready as it is now. Am

you porbably should have read this:

https://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/helpcenterhowto.2004-10-05.2946111988
and probably attach your results there, as this is the site that is
often referred to on IRC i.e.

i hope it does not, as the right solution is not to pull broken and
unsupported software into main, but rather to create the missing
feature.

so i started to write a basic audio burner that can be found 
here in a public (very) beta (but usable) version. feel free to download
and improve the software by testing, feature requests and bug reports:
