When I run cdda2wav -e -N -B I get:
===================================
recording 3884.2933 seconds stereo with 16 bits @ 44100.0 Hz
percent_done:
100%  track  1 recorded successfully
===================================

The "recording" part confuses me.  Does this mean that the command actually 
writes a file on my hard drive or just plays it by passing it on to /dev/dsp?  
Am I going to run out of disk space?
