console only? i won't suggest EAC + wine then. :/

cdrdao does seem to work with ide-cd. i just tried it with my internal
dvdrom drive on /dev/hdd via:
cdrdao read-toc --device /dev/hdd test.toc

just for the record, i don't think that cdparanoia reliably disables any cache
existent on your hardware. and while cdparanoia can be configured to compensate
for the read offset of your hardware, i'm not sure that cdrdao itself does.

you can file that info under pedantic dumbshittery if all you care
about is what it sounds like. cdparanoia normally does a good job in that
regard, so i imagine cdrdao does too.

cheers,
