A while ago, I mentioned that I had problems running cdda2wav as a
regular user.  While rebuilding cdrtools recently, I noticed that the
build finished with the following warnings...

>>> Installing (1 of 1) app-cdr/cdrtools-3.01_alpha17::gentoo

>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

  That might explain my problems.  So I modified my kernel as below...

<*> Second extended fs support
[*]   Ext2 extended attributes
[ ]     Ext2 POSIX Access Control Lists
[ ]     Ext2 Security Labels
<*> Ext3 journalling file system support
[*]   Default to 'data=ordered' in ext3
[*]   Ext3 extended attributes
[ ]     Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists
[ ]     Ext3 Security Labels
< > The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem

...rebuilt, and rebooted into it.  Still the same warnings on the build.
So now it appears that I have to...
> mount the fs with the user_xattr option (if not the default)
> enable the relevant FS_SECURITY option (if configurable)

  Can someone point me to an example somewhere of how to do it?  I
prefer not to muck around blindly with unknown options in /etc/fstab
BTW, I'm building cdrtools with USE="caps filecaps -acl -nls -unicode"
if that matters.
