Have you played the .wav file on another machine than the FreeBSD
machine?  How did you determine that the .wav file is slient?  I've
done many audio cd ripping, but w/ cdrdao instead...

If you do a hexdump -C of the .wav file, the first few lines should
have some info, but then the remaining lines should be something like:
00001000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
*

If it's all random, then it could be your playback method...
