Any info on a virtual cd/dvd burner would be greatly appreciated.

cdemu V3.0.x emulates a burner now, but I don't see what use a virtual

If all you're trying to do is create an ISO image, just use brasero or
xfburn to create the image. Mount that .iso using a loopback and the

I am using k3b, which incorporates cd-text.
Unfortunately, k3b insists on the presence of media in the device.
Even if I losetup /dev/loop0 <someFileofAppropriateSize>
and edit k3brc and change sr0 to loop0, k3b still wants media
in the device.
So, that is why I am looking for a burner emulator.
cdemu is not available for fedora. I found its sources on
on sourceforge, but there is no info on how to integrate all that
into a single install file. As it is, it is way to fragmented.
Not clear if all one needs is the client or the daemon or both,

If you have info on a fedora cdemu for fedora, please share.
