The 'protected'-patch has a bug

WARNING:

There has recently been some considerations about the patch which enables
that '-P' switch, which in some cases helps reading TOC from Cactus Data
Shield-protected discs and also changes the read command. Yesterday I
stumbled across a bug in that patch, which means that it should not be
applied to other than static builds, i.e. _DO NOT_ compile a paranoia
library with it! The reason for this is that it changes the arguments of
cdda_open, which means that some Linux packages (like MPlayer) are unable
to compile correctly after that! I am currently effectively re-writing
that patch to fix both this issue and separate the TOC read and read
command switch features (as that also causes problems in some drives).
