Use grip's cdparanoia mode, it will read the audio data from the CD
without going through the soundcard. As a bonus its faster than realtime
and fixes up any recording glitches.

If you find that cdparanoia freezes or goes very slowly when it tries to
read the disk (try cdparanoia -B from the command line to check) you might
have a dodgy motherboard ide controller (mine is, its a gigabyte board,
via 333 athlon chipset), i just put the cdrom on a $10 pci ide card and
its fine now.
