In the past, I used cdtool's cdplay to play background music
(though more modern hardware seems to lack the necessary internal
analogue cable). If I tried to eject the disc with cdeject, I'd
get an I/O error and the drive's door would lock. Workaround:
I just aliased cdeject to eject, as the latter always worked.
I'm afraid I didn't try to track down the error.
Cheers,
