my impression is that the current version of cdda2wav that comes with
cdrecord 1.9 includes all of libparanoia already. but several people
have suggested i should look into this, and i will.
BTW, i think libschilly called "libscg" now. If you take a look at the
code for cdrecord, it becomes clear that although that libscg provides
the underlying __mechanism__ for interaction with the devices, there
is a ton of code in cdrecord that handles the __logic__ of interacting
with the devices, and that the two of them are very
different. cdrecord has all kinds of stuff to handle drives that don't
completely follow specifications, for example.

cdrdao is a cool program (i have it), but its fundamentally based on 2
premises that are not true here:
1) the disc is recorded in Disc-At-Once mode
2) the audio data is already available
DAO is a very different way of recording audio, and its not applicable
to a real-time recorder that may record one track, then erase it, then
record two more, then add a third, and then finalize.
at least, thats my understanding from working on this project so
far. it could be very wrong :)
