So this is two bugs interealeved.

One is that nautilus keeps the cdrom device open (test it with fuser). This is fault of brasero, I will open a seperate bug about that.

As a workaround, rename

mv /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-brasero-extension.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-brasero-extension.s_o

This will make nautilus loose the burn:// capability, but it won't hold burned device opened.

Another problem, which I did report upstream is that devicekit or even kernel locks cdrom while mounted, but it should instead at least try to unmount the disk on button press.
