Just to add my $0.02, I just upgraded to -STABLE tonight, built a kernel with "atapicam", and built cdparanoia and cdrtools. I did a few quick tests; just ripping audio tracks and then burning them onto a very cheap "staples" brand CD. The results were excellent; I did not specify speeds to either cdparanoia nor cdrecord and I ended up with two perfect discs. No pops, static, noise or other weirdness. This is with a Philips CDRW3210S. My average read speed was around 12x and my burn speed averaged 14.5x. This is the first time I've played with a high speed IDE burner under FreeBSD, and I am very impressed. To whomever is responsible for atapicam, thank you very much. Excellent job!
