I submitted the port.  I never heard that it was broken or needed fixing.
A couple people said it worked fine for them, and I have been using it
for a while (but not now, since I'm testing the "damn" packages).  I was
under the impression that no one was interested.

Well, I have issues with Xcdroast.  Why does it access the CD device
EVERYTIME I click on a button?  What's the point of accessing the
CD device to make an ISO on the hard drive?

Anyway, IIRC, Xcdroast doesn't automatically detect CD burners and one is
limited to a single CD device with OpenBSD.  I don't think Xcdroast's
audio works properly on OpenBSD either. 

If you want a GUI CD burner, cdrchive is in the ports tree.
