Actually, more likely, the drive is misbehaving in some way or
another.  Using the ATAPI native kernel driver assumes that the kernel
can handle the drive on it's own (cdparanoia can't sink deep hooks
into this interface).  If you want a more complete probe/diagnosis,
you'll need to try the drive under IDE-SCSI.

Playing a disk is not the same as ripping it.  The cdrom drive itself
treats the two very differently.
