[paranoia-dev] Lite-On LTN48S3 fix

[Hal Roberts]

Hey all,

I recently purchased a Dell with the lovely LTN48S3 CD drive and quickly 
discovered that I couldn't rip songs with it due to the last 2 seconds 
bug.  I could actually get cdparanoia to work, but only with the -Z 
(disable-paranoia) flag, which resulted in horribly mangled songs.

So, I hacked together a fix for the problem by just disabling paranoia 
checking for the last five seconds of each song, which is usually 
silence anywho.  This seemed to solve the problem.  I've ripped about 20 
CD's now, and paranoia only failed on three songs.  In each of those 
three cases, paranoia halted in the middle of a song on a scratchy disk, 
so I'm assuming that those failures are just due to my unfortunate 
tendency to mangle my CD's.

So, here's the patch for main.c to make this work.  I realize that it's 
a hackish fix at best, but it should let other people inflicted with the 
Lite-On drive rip CD's, which should make them Happy.
