That's kind of a hammer to kill an ant ;)

Turns out this is all I really need:

1.

mkdir wav
for file in *.mp3 ; do
   lame --decode "$file" "wav/$file.wav"
done

2.

cd wav
{
  echo "CD_DA"
  for file in *.wav ; do
    echo "TRACK AUDIO"
    echo "FILE \"$file\" 0"
  done
} > toc


3.

cdrdao write --speed 8 toc
