It is really bad to see that this poor person still has no clue and
still refuses to read man pages :-(

In order to find out whether this person is not the only one who
has problems to understand simple facts, let me elaborate the
previous mail...

Background is here that cdda2wav documents that dev=/dev/hdX
tells cdda2wav to use cooked audio ioctl's like:

ioctl(fd, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, ...

instead of sending SCSI commands directly to the drive.
man cdda2wav also tells you that most OS behave really bad
with cooked audio ioctl's and for this reason recommends to
enable to use Generic SCSI by using the SCSI address syntax
together with the dev= option (e.g. dev=6,0).

This resulted in a question:

 What is the correct devicename on Linux 2.6, if I want DMA? 

And I did reply that I would expect to see DMA for all
ways to send Generic SCSI commands on Linux and that the
problem is that the Linux kernel developers refuse to
fix the bugs that prevent DMA from happen with most
interfaces. I also replied that a decent OS only needs
one single interface to send Generic SCSI commands.


Another questin was:

 dev=ATA is not documented in cdda2wav(1) (from 2.01.01a01). 

Well, I was asuming that people know that all SCSI tools
use libscg and in case a single man page does not contain
_all_ information it makes sense to check other man pages
(e.g. the man page from cdrecord).

I also asume that Linux users _know_ what to do
I am sorry but I am not responsible for the fact that
the Linux kernel developers do not like to evolve an
existing interface that would give thet best result
but rather introduce new and unneeded new interfaces that
include new bugs that are not fixed also..



 You try to force you own design ideas by any means (here: ignoring the
 actual question and presenting your biased definition as a fact) and in
 the same breath you accuse Linux kernel developers of not caring about
 their users. Who t.f. do you expect to listen to you after a such
 action?

Well, in former times it was possible to see desigh ideas in the Linux kernel.
This it no longer true since at least 2 years.

What you see instead is total confusion.

 Hello,

This is the wrong question:

If you like to have DMA, you need to push the Linux kernel guys to fix
their kernel bugs that habe been reported nearly a decade ago

If the Linux kernel developers would listen to their users, we would 
have one single interface for SCSI generic and this interface would
include ATAPI, USB, FireWire, PP-SCSI, . drives _with_ DMA support
if the hardware supports DMA at all.

Unfortunately, the Linux kernel developers do not like to fix bugs but
rather implement new additional interfaces that do not work for all
drives too and create them with just different bugs they also refuse to fix


  Check the cdda2wav(1) man page.

 dev=ATA is not documented in cdda2wav(1) (from 2.01.01a01).
 cu andreas

So it seems that you did not read the cdda2wav man page

man cdda2wav clearly states that dev= parameters that look like
file names refer to the cooked Audio ioctls that do not work
decently on any know OS.

If you like to have a decent CDDA extraction you need to use
generic SCSI and this is done by using the SCSI address syntax
instead of filnames.

dev=ATA and dev=/dev/hdX are definitely not supposed to do the same thing.
Check the cdda2wav(1) man page.

Bug#268621: Reproducable in parts

2005-01-16 Thread Florian Boelstler
Hi,
just want to mention that I can reproduce the problem with a kernel 
built from kernel-source-2.6.8-12 using:
cdda2wav -t 1 dev=ATA:1,0,0
and
cdda2wav -t 1 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0

However it does not occur when I specify the device as
cdda2wav -t 1 dev=/dev/hdc
I can also state that paranoia mode takes more time however my CPU 
consumption stays calm.

Device is a LG GSA-4040B.
HTH,
   Florian

At which point it's NOTABUG.  You shall not use dev=ATA or
dev=ATAPI.
