Re: strange behavior on multimedia eject button for cdrom
From: Harald Dunkel

Update: The original problem is _not_ gone yet. Now it takes
just 2 seconds to eject the CD (since it is not spinning by
default), but the sound and network are still affected during
this time.
On this page
http://bugs.debian.org/370186
you can find some information to tell HAL to ignore the CD
drive.

that could well avoid the entire issue.
Now _that_ was an improvement. After hald has been stopped the problem
is gone.
Even better: Seems that hald was responsible for keeping my CD drive
spinning all the time. Since hald is gone the CD drive stops spinning
after a few seconds :-). And playing DVDs the whole system is _much_
more responsive, the DVD navigation menus are faster, etc.
Hopefully there is a configure option to tell hald to keep the CD drive
alone.
Thanx very much
Harri
