Have you looked at dd_rescue? It does largely the same things that you are
doing . . . .

yes I have - unfortunately after I already wrote the code, so indeed
while it seems like the wheel has been reinvented just another time, lucky
we are this tech is at least not patented (i hope), so we actually CAN do
this ;)
while searching for alternatives I would also note:
dd_rhelp - a frontend for dd_recover which tries to speed up the retrieval
of valid data
recoverdm - a tool that works slightly more low level on the hardware and
therefore maybe more effective
cdrdao - together with further tools like bin2iso probably the best
alternative while working on CDs
