I documented our defeat: http://libburnia-project.org/browser/libburn/trunk/doc/ddlp.txt My current advise is to pull in the tray manually and to wait several seconds after any blinking ended. I.e. after the drive, hald, udev, and whatever have satisfied their curiosity. Only then one should start a burn run on CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and unformatted DVD-RW. To my luck i use mainly DVD+RW and BD-RE. Burn runs on these media tolerate stray SCSI commands from other processes, as long as they do not alter the medium content. Have a nice day :) Thomas
