I was surprised to see it actually as I thought cdparanoia was supposed to be very linux-centric.

It is. Or more correctly, the Linux-specific parts aren't split out nicely from the other stuff.

Next time I see Monty I should ask what happened to "cdparanoia 10", which when I offered the Solaris patches originally he implied was "in progress". Then they got busy with Ogg. Can't really complain about that.
