[Suggestion] Alternative to cdrdao #3

Description

@mnadareski

In your video on this dumping suite, I noticed that you mentioned issues dealing with Track 0 / Pregap data on your music disc. As an alternative to using cdrdao, there's another open-source project called Redumper that also outputs BIN/CUE format, but more comprehensively gets track data. It's like Aaru, but with a tighter focus.

The notable downside is that there are no packaged versions of the program for any distro, rather it's all direct releases on GitHub. I'm not sure how this factors into how your scripts generally work, but I figured it was worth mentioning. Another downside for users apart from yourself who would use this alternative is that it doesn't work with all drives, just a limited set that support a certain set of features, such as your PlexWriter.

For the sake of openness, Redumper is the current standard program used by redump.org contributors and I have worked with the developer. Regardless, I feel that it is well-vetted, especially for use-cases like you have.
