Re: CDDA playback on Pismo (and other newer models)

Rebuilding the kernel to use SCSI generic devices with IDE SCSI
emulation produced much better, even usable, results. At startup
there are still a couple of dropouts in the first few seconds,
but after that the playback is clean across multiple tracks (even
with a concurrent kernel compile). Piping cdparanoia to /dev/null
shows data rates of 187sectors/sec at all -S settings (and default).
From the the drive's spin-up sounds it seems to always be in
high-speed mode, but unlike the ATAPI driver, there is little
head movement noise.

Does it also improve audio grabbing? With 2.2.15, both IDE and SCSI emulation
almost killed the system...
