I seem to recall people having this problem, and that it was caused by
kio_audiocd. The situation was that if the services sidebar in konqueror was
opened even briefly while in the folder for the mounted cdrom, that
kio_audiocd would somehow grab the device and never let go, even once both
the sidebar and that instance of konqueror were closed. The workarounds
were:
1) Don't open the services sidebar while a cdrom is mounted.
2) Close the konqueror instance, then kill all kio_audio instances.
This is debian bugs #284853, #293494, and #305709 if you want to look in those
for more information.
