Hello all!

I'd be kind if you would cc me in case you reply as I'm not (yet)
subscribed to this list.

I'm a music buff :) Well, I guess most people are in one way or the
other. But in addition to that I like bitperfect ripping very much.
Since some time this doesn't work well with linux anymore.

I'd like to know if there's something in the making already or what
could be done to solve this issue. A supporting layer for the ide
system, a new driver maybe? I think this can't be fixed in userspace,
right?

I ripped an audio disc in different ways and compared the results using
md5sum. As you can see the wav data is perfect when using ide-scsi
emulation. On the contrary, using ide lead to errors.

Linux version 2.6.15 (root@section_eight) (gcc-Version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8))

In all cases I used the same drive, a NEC ND-4550A dvd writer.

The first series of wav files was ripped with EAC in Windows and is
bitperfect:

d6346ab76696dddf735a5b752aa7888b 13.Trinity Road.wav

The second series was ripped with deprecated ide-scsi emulation and yielded the
same results as EAC.

The third series was done with ide-cd. Erroneous data is marked
with a (!):
