[TCLUG] increasing audio rip performance

[Austad, Jay]

I usually use grip, which handles it automatically.  But I've tried command
line and get the same results.  I use the bare minimum for options:
	cdparanoia "11-12" test.wav
	cdda2wav -t 12 test.wav

My POS 24x in my windows box at work actually gets about 24x.  Of course,
it's not using paranoia, probably just some basic implementation of
cdda2wav.
