This looks like a error in the parser from cdrdao.

Cdrdao did not introduce new features since 4 years and
it did not offer bug fixes since 3 years. I am not sure whether
the project is still alive.

The best way to copy audio CDs is to call:

cdda2wav -vall -B cddb=0 -paranoia
cdrecord -v -sao -useinfo -text *.wav

Cdrecord only rejects CD-Text in case the drive
used for reading the original CD did return illegal
characters for CD-Text

cdrecord.berlios.de
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

cdrtools is actively maintained.

I noticed that cdrdao was not installed on my system, a standard x86 Ubuntu 9.10 installed from the CD release.

Evidently cdrdao is required by brasero.
Maybe it is not required for all operations, but certainly it is required for the audio CD copy function,
 which you can see by running 'top' or 'ps' when burning an audio CD.

Maybe cdrdao is not explicitly mentioned in the brasero deb package, or maybe the Ubuntu packaging puts in brasero and not cdrdao?

In any case, 'apt-get install cdrdao' fixed the problem for me.
Now I can copy audio CDs using brasero.
