I believe it's basically up to your CD ROM drive - all the acd driver
does is ask it for track info, I don't believe it does anything special
to the data.

FWIW I use dd if=/dev/acd0tX bs=2352 to make my mp3's and it has never
made a bad one yet (with a 52x Mitsubishi and a 24x TEAC laptop CDROM).

Admittedly all my CD's are basically archival and once I rip them I
almost never play them again, but IMHO new drive are perfectly capable
of reading audio without too much hassle.
