-w, --wait
Wait for a signal before recording anything.
-x, --max
Set recording quality (and amount of hard disk usage) to
maximum.
Examples

single WAV file with the following command:
cdda2wav

cdda2wav -B

recording programs as a backend.
Options
-a, --output-aifc
Output in AIFF-C format.

Split output into multiple files, one per track. Each file will

Force cdparanoia to treat the drive as a big-endian device.
-c, --force-cdrom-little-endian
Force cdparanoia to treat the drive as a little-endian device.

Specify a device name to use instead of the first readable ...
