I have not sued cdd to generate .cda files -- most of the audio files I've
burned have been generated on a Linux machine using cdd, however.
Generally I use my CDR to burn data disks for myself, but occasionally I
make audio CD's for others, hence having written the scripts.  I believe
cdd supports capture to .wav files, which my conversion scripts (should
also have been attached to the message) will convert to cdr files using
sox.  If in doubt, generate a track both ways, and see if the files are
the same or not.  At the time I wrote the scripts, a FreeBSD port of cdd
was not available, so I didn't really experiment with it much (other than
to discover that my machine generates little-endian data files by default,
which cds are not :).

Let me know when you find out, and I'll post modified scripts/instructions
to use the information.

thanks,
