Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a53 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)

cdda2wav 2.01.01a53 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)


FWIW: I'm seriously thinking I have a hardware (or possibly a config)
glitch, based on seeing other's success with exactly the same commands
and resources I'm getting failures with. This would explain why I'm not
seeing the end results the man pages say will happen.

I got a fail as it looked for sg0, and my stuff is sr0 + hdc

Adding device direction as per man page fixed this, but then I got hangs.

As mentioned, adding a device indicator did the trick, but then...
