[abcde] Bug#141576: abcde: separate CD track listing and cddb probing

[Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>]

Package: abcde
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal

The only system on which it is practical for me to use abcde is a laptop
with no removable media and a single PCMCIA slot on which I can have a
wireless network card, or a CD drive, but not both at the same time.
(It's odd to think about the restrictions one imposes on oneself
sometimes..)

So, if I want to use abcde, and get track info, I need to:

- put in CD
- abcde gets cd identifier or whatever
- put in network card
- abcde queries cddb
- put in CD
- abcde rips and encodes

As far as I can tell, this is not possible, but it would be possible if
abcde split the -a cddb step into two, maybe call them discid and cddb.
Then I could do:

- put in CD
- abcde -a discid
- put in wireless card
- abcde -a cddb
- put in CD
- abcde

I've hacked around it for now witch a grody pause in do_cddbquery()
which works for me, but it less than idea.
