CDDA with common programs (ATAng)

Hi all,

in the archive I found a discussion about some implementation changes with 
ATAng which breakes CDDA support for (all?) common programs.
Will it ever be possible to use FreeBSD with e.g. kaudiocreator (needs 
cdparanoia)?
I'm no friend of copying audiotracks by hand, give them a more or less 
apropriate name and feed them into any encoder.
There were great tools which could do that automatically but they don't work 
any more for a reason I cannot follow.

Best regards,

-Harry
