Well, first thing I'd try is the source tree in this tarball:

http://people.redhat.com/pjones/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8-25.tar.bz2

This is the patched source in the current Fedora Core package.  It has
code to use SG_IO, which will gets you back to the level of error
reporting and such that sg had.  The patch is ugly as sin, so I haven't
committed it to the paranoia svn tree.

I should really block off some time to rework all of that in a more
clean way :/
