`jack' does not do ripping/encoding by itself. It is a frontend to
cdparanoia/cdda2wav and lame/oggenc. These are the few lines of my
~/.jackrc:

# preferences for jack-2.99.7
# remove this file to get a new one filled with the defaults.
# This file is parsed as python code, it's easy to break things.

jackrc_version = "2.99.7"
jackrc_py_version = "2.1.3"


## edit these defaults:
ripper = "cdparanoia"       # use which program to rip: cdparanoia, tosha,
                            # cdda2wav, dagrab (untested)
cd_device = "/dev/cdrom"    # use which device for ripping
gen_device = "/dev/sgXXX"   # cdda2wav needs the scsi generic device

#encoder = "lame"
encoder = "oggenc"          # use which encoder (bladeenc, lame, gogo, l3enc,
                            # mp3enc, xing, oggenc) attention: this is a
                            # symbolic name which is defined later in this file
                            # (see helpers), NOT the executable's name
