Dougal--that's great news about Wine and EAC.  I'll try it out again.

The problem with cdparanoia is the drive caching.  If you set
cdparanoia to "read forever", it could read forever out of the drive's
cache, not off the disk.  If this happens, you are guaranteed to read
the same exact same data 10 out of 10 reads, even if that is not what's
on the disk.  cdparanoia will not only read the bad data as if it were
good, but it might not even report that there was a problem in the
first place.

It can catch some types of errors.  And matched with the right drive (a
noncaching drive), it can be nearly perfect.  But it's not as good as
EAC by a long shot I'm afraid.  The original poster wanted something
with the quality of EAC.  At the moment, an early development version
of Rubyripper, and apparently using EAC under Wine, may be your only
options.
