I am only speaking on behalf on myself, not Luke.

We use the same tools, that's right. However, we are moving towards 
gstreamer in the next release.

I don't know the goals of Graveman. Our graphical interfaces are quite 
different.
It could be nice to share some code to avoid duplication, I agree.

libburn is not actively maintained, I read somewhere. Also, libburn does 
 support DVD burning so we still have to use growisofs. If libcoaster 
and  libburn were actively maintained, we might start to use them.
