mplayer should use libcdio instead of libcdparanoia in order to prevents cd audio skips

[Kokoko3k]

Playing an audio cd with mplayer is impossible,
depsite of the cache size.
Audio begin skipping as soon as cache becomes empty, and it will.

Here is what happens:
mplayer cdda:// -noconfig all -identify -cdrom-device /dev/sr1 -cache 4096 -cache-min 99
(after a while)
Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue]
Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue]

..and audio begin skipping.

Steps to reproduce:
I tried this on two different cd readers.

* Play a (real) audio cd with mplayer, use a cache big as you want (but lower than the file size of course).

* Download mplayer pkgbuild and add:
--disable-cdparanoia
* add libcdio to the deps.
* make and install the package.

Play the same cd with (or even with the smallest cache: -cache 32 -cache-min 0) and see that it works flawlessly.

Just for reference, this same bug has been reported and fixed here:
