[Bug 271462] Re: Please sync to cdparanoia 3.10.2+debian-1

[Matthias Urlichs]

There is one new "feature" -- a mode to analyze caching behavior of a
drive when cdparanoia detects that its internal cache model of that
drive is faulty. I'd classify this as a bugfix.

I looked into extracting a "simple" fix for the crash, but the author
decided that, in order to fix the bug, some rather extensive changes in
error reporting and memory allocation were necessary. In my case, the
problem resisted cursory analysis with valgrind and friends, and frankly
I refuse to spend too much time fixing an already-fixed bug.

Possibly more troublesome at this stage is Upstream's decision to
default to using the kernel's "new" CD reading interface, because the
old one is deprecated and may in fact not be compiled into the kernel on
some distros. However, I've been running tests with my (too-large)
collection of old and new drives over the weekend and didn't find any
disk/drive combo that would fail with the new interface.
