Custom version of cdparanoia

I have a perl script that [automates ripping and converting CDs][rip]. It uses cdparanoia to get the audio from the CD. cdparanoia has a nice progress bar when ripping, but also outputs a lot of extra guff. If you use -q to quiet the guff, the progress bar also goes away. So I [patch cdparanoia][patch] to have an option to preserve the progress bar when quiet.
