'cdda2wav' now works with ATAPI devices as well; I've had good luck with
it. However, the problem with 'cdd', in my experience, was that it was
returning data in the wrong byte order. 'sox -x' fixed it for me.

Yes, cdd works on my box with ATAPI devices. Try running your data through
sox or another converter program to byteswap it, and see if that fixes your
problem.
