Yes, you can.

If you're launching the burning app on the LTSP server, it's normal
(without a means to talk to the burner on the thin client, the server
can't see it).
But you've got two ways to explore here :
- the (by far) more easy : use LTSP localapps feature after installing
cdrecord/wodim (+/- gui tools) in the TC chroot.
Burning becomes then just a matter of 2 or 3 commands :
* in a shell : ltsp-localapps xterm
* in the popping xterm :
To know where the burner is hooked :
cdrecord -scanbus
To burn (example, depends on what -scanbus returns) :
cdrecord dev=3,0,0 myfile.iso
N.B. of course, you can also put a GUI application in the chroot
and use it from the TC transparently. Just read the doc to find the
suitable variables to overide a server menu entry with a TC one.
- another way, not as easy, but also doable : use the remote burning
feature of cdrecord (rscsi). It works, but it's a more involved
setup. Use it only as a last resort, if for whatever reason the TC
can't do burning by itself (something which is probably impossible
nowadays, since cdrecord needs very few ressources).
