On recent PCs, on-the-fly ripping (1x) does not take so much cpu time.
The analog cable was useful for 486, but I really think that it is outdated
now (maybe for some old drives that can't extract audio digitally).
The problem is that the current linux kernel is unable to use DMA for audio
ripping (related to the sector size) on IDE drives. And without DMA, the cpu
load is high... Something like playing a dvd video vithout overlay...
