It is better to use cdparanoia (from the audio/cdparanoia port), since
it outputs WAV files. It also tries to restore the data in case of a
damaged disc. To make it to work, I have a symbolic link /dev/cdrom
[courtesy of /etc/devfs.conf] that links to the real (atapicam) CD
device.

Ripping is now done by running the following command: cdparanoia -B "1-"
This will result in a number of wav files. You can use these with
cdrecord and it will Just Work.
