One thing of practical importance to remember is, that when SCSI emulation
is ON, then the drive /dev/hdx does not work, but the device should then
be referenced by /dev/sg0 or /dev/sr0, especially when ripping with
CDParanoia, i.e.

# cdparanoia -v -B -d /dev/sr0 1-13

Then it is also possible to use the patch I already mentioned and run
CDParanoia with it, i.e.

# cdparanoia -v -B -P -d /dev/sr0 1-13

, which is known to help with some of the problems described with
copy-protected CD's.
