I do not know of any utility for unix that does that, thought there are
some for windows (in addition to corel's, I think HP easy CD-Pro know to
copy an audio CD directly in disk-at-once mode). I believe there were
plans by Yoerg Schilly to add this ability to cdrecord in the future.
Anyway - if audio quality is important to you, I would really discourage
that, even if the feature is available. Audio reading is unreliable even
when read to disk first. I recommend using cdparanoia, which seems to
produce a rather clean audio output. There's even a patch to Xcdroast to
work with cdparanoia instead of cdda2wav.
