2+ Years ago, there have been several long discussions in 
de.comp.hardware.laufwerke.brenner

One is here 
http://groups.google.de/group/de.comp.hardware.laufwerke.brenner/browse_thread/thread/355e88b312c2a2f1/269396c366fe2117?hl=de&lnk=st&q=cdda2wav+eac#269396c366fe2117
but there have been better ones...

Try to search for cdda2wav and EAC or ALCOHOL.... in 
de.comp.hardware.laufwerke.brenner
