"READ_BIG timed out" errors on acd0

[Scott I. Remick]

Sorry for the delay... I had memory issues I had to resolve first. I'm 
now ready to revisit this issue.

The CD-audio cable is not used or needed for "ripping" which is also 
known as "DAE" = digital audio extraction.

Sound Juicer doesn't allow you to pick between the two. It identifies 
the drive by name, not by its /dev entry, and it only gives me the one 
option.

Everyone else: here's my original post for reference. I'm trying to 
doing a fresh buildworld with the latest -STABLE but it doesn't seem 
"stable" and isn't building as the tree currently is, so I might have to 
wait on that. I'm hoping there's a multimedia guru who can help walk me 
through a series of sensible troubleshooting steps in order to get to 
the bottom of this, because multimedia isn't my forte and I'm sort of 
flying by the seat of my pants here.

also trying Sound Juicer but both are having issues... I think it's 
something to do with the drive. Here's what I get in /var/log/messages:
