It was a bit of a pain to get the program installed... I ended up ripping apart the configure script simply to find out what on earth was missing dependency wise, and then managed to pull in that in rpm form with a fairly broad search on my SuSE cds. (This might be more of a distro-specific problem though). Project files can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/eroaster/ and http://eclipt.uni-klu.ac.at/. Documentation is a little bit short, but after giving it roughly the same treatment that xcdroast's docs suggested for use by people other than root, I was able to get it to go as a mere mortal. The program's layout is by far the most logical of all the linux cd burning programs that I've seen. About the only thing I'm not sure it can handle is burning a combination of data and some audio tracks onto a single cd, but that's not something I'm likely to attempt. It supports auto conversion of audio files from mp3 and ogg to wav format (and also normalization if selected in preferences) for burning an audio cd. I read in a review I found on Google when attempting to relocate this program that when burning a data cd it allows you to select a greater amount of data than the cd will hold, and the program will then split it over into several cds for you. The program is actually a Python script, which may have an impact perhaps on a slower system, but it runs at a perfectly fine clip on my machine. I used this program fairly frequently when I had Mandrake installed, and I've never really had any problems whatsoever using it. Just give it a shot; I'm sure you'll like it.
