My CD-RW drive experiences a problem in that it automatically closes
after opening if there is media in the drive. This only happens if
there was media in the drive when it was last closed (an empty drive
stays open). From what I can tell, this behavior is affected by the
ID_CDROM_MEDIA variable.
This is the output of cdrom_id:

I attached a patch that only sets ID_CDROM_MEDIA if the "READ DISC
INFORMATION" command is successful. With this patch, the drive no
longer automatically closes.
I am not sure if the location that I moved it to is the best, because
I don't exactly understand this section of code:
/* exclude plain CDROM, some fake cdroms return 0 for "blank" media here */
if (!cd_media_cd_rom && (header[2] & 3) < 4)
cd_media_state = media_status[header[2] & 3];
First of all, ((header[2] & 3) < 4) is by definition always true, so
I'm not sure what it is checking. But if somehow this is a valid
check, perhaps we should set cd_media in here.
I have tested this patch with my cd-rw drive and dvd drive (blank
media, normal media, and no media were all tested), and all seems
well.
