Humm... you might want to check how HAL detects that devices. There are
some GUIs, but you can send a report with:

 hal-find-by-capability  --capability storage.cdrom | xargs hal-device

I suppose it's important to have a line with "storage.cdrom.cdrw =
true", then we can check "storage.removable.media_available" ...
