As I mentioned before, I cannot comment the cause as long as I did not see the
outout from at least:

cdda2wav -vall -B cddb=0

and I would recomment to use:

cdda2wav -vall -B cddb=0 -paranoia

The parania code is not used while reading the index list but the paranoia debug
output will help to understand the readability of the medium by your drive.

It would of course be interesting to know whether the index scan did take a 
long time......

If you like, you may also try to compile cddawav to use linear seach by calling:

smake clean
smake COPTX=-DUSE_LINEAR_SEARCH

and try again.

There is also: 

smake COPTX=-DDEBUG_BINSEARCH 

to debug the binary seach.
