I've given up on cdda2wav and am using cdparanoia 
(http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/user/xiphmont/cdparanoia/index.html) and also
I've started using the "lamer" patches to the dist10 mp3 encoder in
preference to 8hz-mp3, but that pointer I don't have handy.

Both work on my RH 5.1 laptop, but cdparanoia needed work (which is now
integrated) to override the default read size since the automatic
optimization didn't work with the cdrom drive in my laptop.... which has 2
different jitter peaks, apparently.
