[lug] Creating audio CDs

[Ronald Kumon]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my message.  I was able to sucessfully 
convert 70 minutes of audio tracks to .wav files using cdparanoia in about
a half hour.  This seemed reasonable as compared to the various responses.

I think I found the reason why cdda2wav was so slow, although I don't know
what to do to fix it.  In /var/log/messages the following messages are 
repeated over and over while cdda2wav is reading the tracks:

Any ideas?
