They seem to have plenty of pad left otherwise. Hopefully it's not a big deal, and I plan on doing a B5 S4 setup in the near future anyway.
BTW...are the brake wear sensors on a B6 A4 the same as a B5 S4?

Inspect..
Check your pads for wear. If you have material on all four corners and it is wearing mostly evenly, pass
Check your rotors. If there are brake pad deposits on them, then ignore sounds and warped rotor feelings for a few weeks of normal use. If there are no deposits, check rotors for minimum thikness and warping. Check for cracks. Small surface cracks are ok, but if you can get your finger nail in them, then you might want to think about turning or replacing the rotors
