cdparanoia 9.8 and 10pre prefer different default interfaces,
reflecting shifts in the kernel over the past N years.

really?  that is more than very strange.  In a modern kernel (2.6.22
is modern), cdparanoia *should* be much happier without -g, unless
there are distro-specifc patches to the kernel causing trouble.

Yes, expected.  Feel free to report the kernel bug to Ubuntu.
Cdparanoiais behaving properly and to kernel spec.

Yes, that it does not work without -g is odd.  Could you, please, send
the output of cdparanoia -vQ?  Also, try it as root?

No worries and thank you for actually reporting trouble (which most
people don't).
