[paranoia] CLOSED: Re: cdparanoia wav audio problems

[Randy Zagar]

I am pleased to report that this issue is now closed (for me).  Sorry 
for the delay, my DVD drive died and I just got the replacement back 
yesterday.  Between that, and a failed upgrade that fubar-ed my system 
I've been quite busy.  I can now, however, report that my previous 
problems with audio distortion no longer exist.

Thanks for the help, guys.
