Cdda2wav error: cannot send SCSI command via ioctl [SOLVED]

Hi,

Since a while cdda2wav will freeze if I try to use it as a user. The last thing I see is the following:

cdda2wav -D /dev/hdc returns:

Did you have any luck figuring this out? I have the exact same problem. This works as root but not as user. Cdparanoia works fine but cdda2wav does not.

Same here. I also notice that when burning CD there are some problems.. (very slow...). maybe independent problem.
Kernel is 2.6.16-r3

I am using kernel 2.6.15 as well. The burn process is very slow. Using grip and cdparanoia it takes forever to rip a disc and grip doesnt even report the rip speed correctly (it stays at 0.0x). I see the same problem running grip with cdda2wav as root user. I am using the gentoo-sources with genkernel and the only change I made was added mppe in as a module.

Will someone else help out on this topic.... its so cold and dark and lonely .... I must burn CD's :"(

"Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl"

I currently run 2.6.16-gentoo-r4, but I don't think the kernel is to blame. I suspect GCC-4.1 is the culprit. For now I use cdparanoia to rip cd's.

I got this working for me. As part of the command line to cdda2wav I added "-I cooked_ioctl" and it seemed to fix the problem.

This seems to fix it indeed, thanks!
