Correct. 

I use cdrdao extensively for copying everything espl audio CDs. They
make purrfect copies and make sure that everything is preserved
including CD-TEXT data. 

Cdrdao will copy anything that you throw at it.

Yes. 

The hack I use is to use the ide-scsi driver for ATAPI devices as well.

Yep!

No command line. Make sure you load up the ide-scsi driver instead of
ide-cd.
