burncd completes the write, the cd player sees the proper number of audio
tracks, but every track sounds like white noise. waveplay on the wav file
sounds normal though.

OK. I'll give it another shot tonight. As a side note, what other programs
are available for FreeBSD other than cdda2wav for ripping audio tracks from
an ATAPI CD drive? Also, are there any firmware update programs for plextor
drives that run on something other than Windows and can write to ATAPI
drives? I've found a few but they only support SCSI drives. I'd hate to have
to find a Linux machine to stick the drive in just to update the firmware.
