I just do 'cdparanoia -B && cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=4 track*.cdda.wav'.
Works great, if you don't mind a two second gap in between each track
that is. I understand that the program 'cdrdao' can do DAO mode and
eliminate the gaps, but I haven't used it myself. Some examples can be
found at http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html.
