Thanks for the swift reply, Rogério & Francesco. Definitely that the problem is only limited to my system now.

Just that, - This is the only kernel that I use for audio extraction. This is the only time that I try it as well. So I can't provide info for other kernels. - The kernel that I'm using, although fails cdparanoia, works fine with VCD ripping, CD burning, and even audio extraction with icedax. Oh, might it be just a permission problem? I'm in audio/video/cdrom group, and I remember that I need to be in another special group. Here are all relevant info that I can provide: $ apt-cache policy cdparanoia cdparanoia: Installed: 3.10.2+debian-9 Candidate: 3.10.2+debian-9 Version table: *** 3.10.2+debian-9 0 50 http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca unstable/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.10.2+debian-8 0 300 http://debian.mirror.rafal.ca testing/main Packages $ cdparanoia -A cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008) Using cdda library version: 10.2 Using paranoia library version: 10.2 Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
