I am interested in creating software that uses a CD burning device. I will be writing this code in C under Linux and compiling using GCC.

libburn as the name suggests ;) (and other friend-libraries from the same site). It's used in brasero (GNOME), xfburn (xfce) and cdw.

And well, that's it. Really, I'm not aware of any more libraries.

In fact, it was more common to wrap command-line cdrecord (from cdrtools or cdrkit) but they never provided a shared library; it was just an old unix practice on running external executables (and then parsing their output, ugly). AFAIK it's still used in k3b and a few minor tools but the general trend is migration towards libburn.
