According to a recent discussion in the linux-kernel list
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/115745c4b8f0ab72/
vanilla cdparanoia doesn't support SG_IO and probably because the old 
CDROMREADAUDIO interface doesn't report all errors sometimes the rip is 
not bitexact.

There is a patch from Redhat, that adds SG_IO support available:
http://people.redhat.com/pjones/cdparanoia/sgiotest/tmp/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.sgio.patch

- From the changelog there:
- - new SG_IO code in rawhide.  This means ripping will no longer use the 
  "cooked ioctl" mode that it has since we moved to 2.6, instead utilizing
  the real scsi-based command set to talk to most drives.  This should
  result in better error correction handling, and usage of much more
  commonly used kernel features.

Emphasis should be on "should result in better error correction 
handling" :-)

Might be related to bug number 222748.

Also, I think 
http://people.redhat.com/pjones/cdparanoia/sgiotest/tmp/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.O_EXCL.patch
is a good Idea too. :-)
