[bug#28398] Xfburn

[ng0]

Alright, here's the next revision. I've included a new patch to
work in your comments on xorriso (dropping the 2 inputs).

The compiled Xfburn gives me 2 error messages so far:
1. No Drive found (thanks Cpt. Obvious, I have no optical drive here).
2. More concerning:
   Failed to initialize gstreamer transcoder: An error occurred setting 
gstreamer up for transcoding
   (falling back to basic implementation)

Keep in mind that I've tested this from within guile-wm, so
this might be different in XFCE or other environments. I'll
test this later today. I expect XFCE to work in MATE at the
very least, but XFCE-only would be good for starters.

The application itself starts.

Session output on terminal can not be copied right now, I'll
send it in later today if necessary.
