Good to hear... then it seems that the non-working brasero variants have been 
created by Debian & Co. by removing/disabling code.

I send the related code to Sun in Summer 2008. 

The code was at:

packages/BUILD/SUNWgnome-media-2.23.2/gst-plugins-good-0.10.8/ext/cdda2wavsrc/

The plugin library was called:

	libgstcdda2wavsrc.so

at that time. Located at:

	packages/PKGS/SUNWgnome-media/reloc/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

It seems that the sources have not been distributed by Sun :-(

BTW: this library calls cdda2wav similar to:

	cdda2wav -q -Oraw paraopts=minoverlap=2 -interactive -

If you do this manually and type "help", you get this:

help

        quit                            exit processing.
        help                            print this help and wait for new input.

If you use "-e" instead of "-", you may use cdda2wav to directly and 
interactively play a CD to the audio device, but this is not implemented in 
sound-juicer.

The paranoia option is not yet parameterized in this library. So if you use 
sound-joicer via libgstcdda2wavsrc.so, you thus get non-paranoia mode.

AFAIR, the method to enable this was to link /usr/lib/libgstcdda-0.10.so.0 to 
libgstcdda2wavsrc.so
