Re: [linux-audio-dev] cdparanoia fails / audiofile comparer

Yeah, it is one of those HP devices (Sony inside), not cheapest device as I preferred quality. Of course, it could be a bug or design flaw in cdparanoia as well. That is what I would like to developers to look at. Why would a CD device output data with channels swapped? Why would a CD device have an align problem when CD reads ok (after the "!" location)? It could be that cdparanoia falls down at the "!" location and does not come up even it could. Because it could be either the CD device or cdparanoia which falls down, I would not rush in to the final report as fast as you did. Things should be examined. I yet have to test ripping starting after the bad location. If that works ok, then cdparanoia could just restart after getting "!" errors, right? Yes, I have a hardware problem, specially when using CDROM but also with disks. Buggy IDE I think, or Linux does not support Intel IDE well (4.?.18 kernel). Anyone would have a couple of years old spare motherboard and could send it free for me? I would not like to buy a new one (because I have no money) because I would then yet again have to wait for 1.5 years before I get new enough Linux for having full support for the chips (or again to find out that the new kernel won't help at all).
