Well, I'm certainly not going to claim any expertise about the state of 
cdparanoia on any BSD -- I've not run one in 4+ years.  But the point 
remains -- changing code to say "#ifdef __linux__" because it doesn't work 
on MacOS X stands a good chance of breaking more than it fixes.

Scott's right, much of the things he touched probably *should* reside in
platform specific code; at the moment, though, they don't.
