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, David.
