Re: [SLE] CD-R - So close, yet no cigar!

Now I've dug myself in even deeper! I began by trying something that I
thought would be simple and non-destructive. I inserted an audio CD into
the CD-ROM drive and ran 'cdda2wav -D0,0,0 -e track1.wav`, thinking I
would get a small file, as well as some audio from my speakers. Instead,
I seem to have a never-ending process, which I can't seem to kill, even
with kill -9! It's been running for about two hours now, and according to
top, is competing with artsd for the lion's share of my cpu. THey're both
eating up 40-45% each (strangely, always equal!).
Is that -e option to blame? DOes cdda2wav not cooperate well with
artsd, so they're both fighting over /dev/dsp? Any idea how I can kill
that process without bringing down my whole system?
