Re: cdda2wav lacks utf-8 or unicode support?

Hello,

I have made an audio CD from some music we recorded. The tracks information contains some unicode text. Vorbiscomment and metaflac commands display the track's information of ogg and flac files correctly in konsole (so the locale settings are correct and necessary fonts are installed). However, after burning the audio CD, the following command shows question marks instead of non-English characters (but English text is shown properly):
$> cdda2wav -JH dev=/dev/hdd

This is the same session of konsole in which vorbiscomment and metaflac commands output the characters properly. Does cdda2wav not support utf-8 or unicode characters? Or am I missing something?

As far as I now, my locale is also set properly:
$> set | grep LANG
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en_US:en_GB:en

Also, this on Debian Testing, fully updated.

thanks,

I forgot to add. The audio CD was burned using k3b. When the flac files were included in the audio cd project, k3b showed unicode characters properly.

So something could have gone wrong during burning the data to the cd, or something is going wrong when cdda2wav reads data from the cd. I have a hunch k3b is not to be blamed and the latter case is the problem.
