I don't consider it a hack at all. It's a matter of style or opinion whether you expect the track/session counts to have any meaning if there is no CD in the drive at all. As I said, you could set the values to zero in the kernel driver, or entirely ignore them in udev if there's no CD. I don't see why the latter should be a hack; in fact, in the "be liberal what you accept" programming practice it's even the better solution, since it would allow newer udevs to run on older kernels, too. > I'm personally nervous about making a change to the *standard* udev > rules that hasn't been confirmed with the kernel maintainer of that > subsystem, and tested properly.

I'd like to, but it's just about impossible to find an upstream bug tracker for udev -- it's not on bz.kernel.org, not in copyright, not linked in Launchpad, and google reveals nothing helpful either.
