Well,
not being able to make xcdroast do my bidding and
with some help from a irc chat, and staying up all
night, I've become quite used to using the command
line interface. Here's what I learned.
To "rip" the CD, I used cdda2wav:
cdda2wav -v255 -B -D1,0,0 -Owav
The undocumented feature -v255, I found in the man
pages from cdrecord. The cdda2wav doc specifies
-v64 as the highest value. This means "rip everything"
including info.
-B specifies each track in a separate file.
-D1,0,0 is the device specification. To find out the
devices scsi value, run cdrecord -scanbus
-Owav is redundant but means use .wav files
Then I burn the CD.
first in "dummy" mode
cdrecord -dummy speed=6 dev=1,1,0 -dao -useinfo *.wav
speed requires experimentation. When I tried 8, it dropped
down to 6 in dummy mode. The default is 1 so do experiment.
dev=1,1,0 specifies the device (this is different than my other
CD)
-dao (as opposed to -tao) dao eliminates a popping sound
between tracks.
-useinfo means use the info files that cdda2wav created
because of the -v255 undocumented option.
*.wav are all the wav files, a list of files would work too.
The result is a perfect copy of an audio CD
