You are mistaken, Daniel.  Regular audio CDs do not use any kind of
"file format"
CDDA consists of a stream of audio data with metadata codes in a
bitstream - there are no files, only a continuous stream of bits,
frames, blocks, etc.
The .cda files that you see are created by converting the raw CDDA
data to a file - they are not to be confused with the original.
The FLAC command-line conversion utility supports "raw" input, which
is the closest thing to regular audio CD format that you can get.

is the one used on regular audio CDs.

Support for this format would make it even easier to encode to FLAC
from CDs
