It's worth investigating. If k3b does indeed compile against cdrtools libraries then you may be out of luck.
Writing optical media is a task that needs special privileges. Calling e.g. cdrecord as a separate program gives prilviege separation and prevents you from being forced to do a security audit on higly complex GUI.
The main problem wth k3b is that it does not support feature enhancements implemented during the past 10 years.
It is e.g. a pitty that there is no support for the libfind based features in mkisofs. It would be a real challenge for a GUI writer to implement GUI support for something like find(1). So this is even expected to give fun to the author!
