This reminds me of a (likely unrelated) problem I have.  I used to have 
a PATA DVD drive, and audio CDs worked fine.  I switched to a SATA DVD 
drive, and audio CDs don't work.  This problem exists in 2008.11 and 
2009.6 and Fedora 10.  I would have concluded my drive is junk, but 
audio CDs work fine if I boot into Windows.

Ryhthmbox and Sound Juicer certainly don't work, but I haven't tried to 
debug them since I really want cdda2wav anyway.

cdda2wav will create a track list and begin to "rip" the CD, but it 
creates audio_xx.wav files that are many megabytes of no sound.  That's 
if I'm lucky.  If I'm unlucky, the drive won't respond (even to "eject 
..."), and I have to manually eject the CD with a paper clip.

I'm away for a couple weeks, so I won't be able to do anything on the 
machine itself until I get back.  It's an AMD machine.

Thanks!
