Did I? I'm sorry, I was *sure* I hit reply-to-all.
Yes, but now we need to find out why one interface fails while another
works.. I have the same problem here using cdrdao when ripping entire disk
images. I'd love to fix the real issue rather than work around it by having
userspace use another interface.
I would have thought that both interfaces should return the same data..

I think cdrdao can use SG_IO if you tell it to. Check their documentation. Or did I misunderstand what you're saying?
Slightly.. If I'm not mistaken, we have a piece of software (for arguments sake let's call it
cdparanoia). The stock software uses the ATA or ATAPI interface and produces bodged reads, the
modified version you have uses SG_IO and produces accurate reads.
What I'm wondering is why the difference, and is there a problem with the ATA/ATAPI interface that
leads to this that needs looking into.
*or* is it a userspace problem with the way cdparanoia is using that interface
*or* is it an inherent problem/limitation with that particular interface
I can reproduce this with cdrdao by reading a cd 10 times with all combinations of paranoia mode
attempted. I get 10 x ~550 meg data.bin files that all differ.
I'm thinking I need to work up a script that diffs them by audio sector size chunks to see if there
is a pattern there somewhere, but you would think that somewhere 2 reads in 10 would be identical.
