Serpentine is quite new in terms of visibility, so there are no packages available. There have been some talks about packaging it for Ubuntu.

You need to master the iso before you can burn it.
ISOs are for data cds not audio ones.

So yes, it masters the CD as well as burning it (I'm pretty certain Ogg Vorbis, Flac and MP3 aren't part of the red book standard).
It converts your MP3, FLAC, OGG into a WAV and then it records the CD.

From the Yet Another CD Burner department:

The 0.9 branch of Rhythmbox has the ability to burn a playlist to a CD with a single click.

I think it rocks pretty hard, but if there's one thing we can learn from the plethora of Gnome CD burners, it's that different folks like to do it differently.

does it use nautilus-cd-burner
Yes i've crated some bindings for python, those are available in gnome-python-extras since 2.9.2 version

What happened to bonobo?
nautilus-cd-burner does not provide a bonobo interface

How to do component-development in gnome?
Depends on the level of component level you are talking about. If you're talking about RPC then it's DBus

Except perhaps Fedora and Ubuntu. But otherwise, you're right.

out of interest why? The only reason I don't use it more is I tend to listen to music on my mp3 player (nomad jukebox 1) so any management of my music I do with Neutrino as there isn't any rhythmbox integration for it.

when I do use rhythmbox I have no problems with it at all, not speed, not stability, not usability.

I'm not sure I understand your question. But if it is about Serpentine being able to record OGG files then yes it can, as well as FLAC, MP3 and any other file GStreamer supports. This also includes video files, if you can you could put a video clip and serpentine will rip the audio part of it and record it in a CD, as easy as drang and drop.
