Please read the documentation before giving useless "advise".

cdparanoia is based on a very old cdda2wav version (from 1997) and thus
is not able to scan for indices.

I don't actually want to copy the CD, I just want to know if it has
any pregaps. This says that cdrdao-utility will provide the
information:

http://code.google.com/p/rubyripper/issues/detail?id=207&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Summary %20Stars%20Opened%20Modified#c1

but that binary isn't installed with Gentoo's cdrdao package.
