Well, I do not have such a CD and if I would even like to implement the festure
in cdda2wav I would first need to create such a CD using cdrecord.
The main ussue is that it seems that only because cdrdao is harder to use than
cdrecord (because it exposes a cryptic interface to the user while cdrecord
hides this from it's users and just makes things work) it seems that people
pelieve that cdrdao gives more functionality but this is definitely not true.
