Yep, just use mpg123 (mpg123 -w outfile.wav infile.mp3) to convert to wav
and then cdrecord to write to CD-R 
(cdrecord -v dev=0,0 speed=2 -audio track1.wav track2.wav .....)
-v is for verbose operation, dev= is the SCSI ID of the drive
You might also need to add the -pad option if the wav isn't the right 
size (it'll tell ya if ya try w/o -pad that ya need it)
X-CDRoast is just a frontend to cdrecord and does all the cdrecord
stuff for ya (so you'll still have to convert the mp3 to wav) and wants
the wavs to be in a certain directory (usually /tmp, tho it can be config'd
to use something else)
Hope all this helps at least a bit.
