If a CD drive has a read offset, then I have to apply the negated offset
when reading to correct for the offset of the drive, right? So do I have
to negate the value from http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm
before passing it to cdparanoia via the -O/--sample-offset option, or is
the negation already included in the list of drive offsets on the above
web page or performed by cdparanoia?

All the best,
