Title:
  eject cd doesn't work and "just should"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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 :-)
