I just used cdparanoia (for the very first time) and I tried to eject the CD by pressing the button. Nothing happens. I can eject the CD with "eject /dev/sr0", so it's not really a big problem. I just wonder whether this behavior is normal. I'm used to cdda2wav (from cdrtools), and it never happened, that I recall. Note that cdparanoia ended normally ( and successfully, BTW). I run it with speed 1.
