[Launchpad Bug Tracker <75074@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I press the button on my CD/DVD drive the CD doesn't eject.  This
is a bug.  I don't care if it's mounted.  I don't care if it's use.
When I press that button, it should come out.  I understand that
forcefully unmounting a file system is in general a bad idea.  Data can
be corrupted, be lost or disappear into thin air -- but not on a read-
only mount of a read only CD.

I shouldn't have to hold down the button.  I shouldn't have to reboot my
computer.  Xine shouldn't lock up because I wanted my disc and neither
should mplayer.  They should exit gracefully and my disc should come out
so that I can throw it on my desk full of other randon crap.

I shouldn't have to fight my CD-drive.

If I put in a scratched or otherwise damaged disc (unbeknownst to me)
there should be some timeout period where it gives up and stops trying
to mount it -- this makes things hang.  It's annoying.

Give me back my disc.

Please, thanx :-)
