Then too of course there'd need to be a way to ascertain if there was any substantial differences in the outputs. There's some code out there since kernel version 2.2 called cdfs which doesn't seem to be on my (v.5.9) system. This allows mounting an audio CD or a disk image of one so that it can be examined and, presumably, manipulated. In fact, maybe this is all I need at the moment... that is, after cloning the CD to a disk image, it might be possible to edit the track data prior to burning. I don't burn CDs that often, so this would be an acceptable solution.
This cdfs does not deliver better quality than from using the "read audio" ioctls from the kernel. Cdda2wav gives much better quylity in case of non-optiimal media and cdda2wav gives you the meta data you need to make a decent copy. You don't get that from cdfs.

CDfs allows mounting a CD with something like:
# mount -t cdfs -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdfs
[From http://users.elis.ugent.be/~mronsse/cdfs/.]
How would a person mount a CD using the software mentioned above (if that would be possible at all)?
Also, I haven't been able to find cdfs in 5.9. Is it to be found in a later version?
