Install the lsof package if you don't have it.
Try: lsof /dev/sr1
Tt should give you a clue as to what is opening the device, you may have
to run it as lsof -r /dev/sr1 over a minute or more if the process only
opens /dev/sr1 every now and then. It looks to be something checking
once a minute (61 log messages over 61 minutes) Are you running
something like nautilus?
