I'd like to note that nowhere in the FAQ does it say this is necessary 
for sound-juicer as well as nautilus-cdburner.  For some reason, I've 
never complained about this, but here goes:
I've had no problems whatsoever running cdparanoia with my cdrom drive 
in atapi mode.  However, sound-juicer, supposedly using cdparanoia, will 
only access it through cam.  I believe this is related to this other 
oddity:

         Unable to read any data; drive probably not CDDA capable.

Cdparanoia could not find a way to read audio from this drive.

It refuses to work through anything other than cam when I tell it to 
search!  I can get it to work rather easily, simply by granting write 
permissions on pass0, but it seems really odd that I would have to give 
write permissions in order to rip a disk, especially when cdparanoia 
itself works fine without it!

So, it's not a big deal, but it is a little odd.
