This is even documented in the cdda2wav man page:
OPTIONS
dev=device
-D device
-device device
uses device as the source for CDDA reading. For exam-
ple /dev/cdrom for the cooked_ioctl interface and
Bus,ID,Lun for the generic_scsi interface. The device
has to correspond with the interface setting (see
below).
Using the cooked_ioctl is not recommended as this makes
cdda2wav mainly depend on the audio extraction quality
of the operating system which is usually extremely bad.
The setting of the environment variable CDDA_DEVICE is
overridden by this option.
