Subject: [gentoo-desktop] cdda2wav sound problem when ripping
Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 04:19:55

1 This may well be a result of my upgrade from kernel 2.4.10 to kernel
2 2.6.8-gentoo-r10. I believe things worked properly before when using the
3 ide-scsi module under 2.4.

5 I'm trying to use eroaster to manage CD burning since I like the UI. I've
6 come on a bit of a problem with cdda2wav that's got me stumped, although I'm
7 currently hacking the eroaster python source to work around it. xcdroast
8 has the same problem since it also uses cdda2wav.

10 It seems that if I specify a device to cdda2wav in the form "-D 3,0,0"
11 (basically a SCSI spec - bus 3, target 0, lun 0), cdda2wav finds the CD, but
12 the actual ripping of tracks gets pretty badly fubar. The sound is
13 distorted and broken, although the music is identifiable - kind of like a
14 broken LP (remember LPs? ;-). If, on the other hand, I use "-D /dev/hdc"
15 with cdda2wav, which also identifies the CD, but as an IDE drive, then
16 cdda2wav rips the tracks with no distortion.

26 ... it's a known drive in the SCSI subsystem, and recording to it works just
27 fine with xcdroast which uses this spec to record, but which has the same
28 problem with cdda2wav.

30 Is this a known problem with the kernel drivers, or with the libs, or
31 somewhere else?
