Media insertion is not notified to user space via udev, so userspace
implement cd automount by polling. IIRC, back when libata ATAPI support
was premature, we had quite a few bug reports regarding error messages
generated by those polling activities. Maybe your distribution disabled
polling for SCSI cdroms for that reason. I seem to recollect the
polling was done by some gnome daemon, not sure which though.

My memory is a bit vague about this. Please correct me if I got
something wrong.
