Some information is printed by cdcontrol too?

# gothmog:/home/giorgos$ cdcontrol cdid
# CDID=021dc601
# gothmog:/home/giorgos$ cdcontrol info
# Starting track = 1, ending track = 1, TOC size = 18 bytes
# track     start  duration   block  length   type
# -------------------------------------------------
#     1   0:02.00  127:02.46       0  571696   data
#   170  127:04.46         -  571696       -      -

We could extend cdcontrol to display other pieces of information too, if
necessary I guess.
