Correct, there was a mainenance update but cdparanoia is still based on
a cdda2wav source from 1997.

cdrdao did not et new features since 4 years and it did not get even 
	a maintenance update since 3 years.

cdparanoia is a "patch" on a cdd2wav source from 1997 and there was a lot 
	of activities 'till March 2001 with cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8
	since then no new features have been introduced and as the project
	did look completely dead, I decided to take the relevent code,
	make a real portable library from it and use it from cdda2wav.
	This port was done in spring 2002.

	A year ago, there have been some minor code changes and lot's 
	of new comment in the main paranoia code. The new comment
	has been moved to libparanoia for cddawav....
