Sorry for the unavoidable delay in responding, but here goes.

I did not get the Windows>Terminal on the right-click but used emelfm2 to achieve the task of opening a terminal window at /usr/bin.Open rox and browse to /usr/bin.
Right-click an empty space and from the drop-down menu, select Windows>Terminal Here. A terminal will open. Create a symlink, named ffmpeg, to avconv. The code to type in the terminal is:
ln -s avconv ffmpeg
Press return.
I set up the link. and followed the instructions.
As you can see from the accompanying screenshot (mikeslr_solution_ok), ffmpeg showed ok with the dependency check.
Now the burn trial
The burn of an 11 track CD succeeded and I was eventually able to play it . Thanks Sherlock .
The resultant CD appeared in the device list - sr0. I expected pmusic to be automatically launched and play but when it didn't I clicked the sr0 icon. That brought up a graphic with an invitation to play (screenshot=cd_detected)but when I clicked the play button VLC playlist panel just showed cdda.
It seems my default player VLC, needs a codec/plug-in of some sort. I guess that's a different problem to be looked into.
Launched Menu->Multimedia->pCD and though there was a short delay, the cd tracks came up and played beatifully. Played in Deadbeat also.
