Digital CD Audio

[Duane Attaway]

I was going to suggest playing the cd digitally using /usr/bin/cdparaanioa
and pipe the wav file into /usr/bin/play, but cdparanioa will not pipe.  
Perhaps it needs a little patch to help make things nice, but this worked
for me:

cdparanoia -w -- "-10" &
play cdda.wav

100% digital!
