The message comes from sr_ioctl.c:sr_do_ioctl(). Which means some user

NOT_READY. Apparently it will shut up if quiet is set in the packet
command structure.
It could be the application is getting the wrong idea of the status from
sr_do_staus() which leads it to send commands which require a medium?
But we'll need a bit of debugging to determine this.
Userland polling of the cdrom is quite normal (if unfortunately),
regardless of medium presence. Probably HAL or dbus.
In theory, the userland app should (a) set quiet and (b) handle
not-ready condition just fine.
I presume that (b) is ok, since not-ready just means to continue polling
the cdrom ad infinitum, until media appears.
A useful experiment, if only to confirm the obvious, would be to insert
some media.
What controller and device is in use?
