    I get similar errors logged all the time on my CDROM unit. Any
    time a cd player program is running with no audio CD in the CDROM
    unit, for some reason, the kernel likes to tell you about it on
    every console, and via syslog too. A real PITA if you use a
    snazzy GNOME CD player that runs all the time in the panel. I've
    had to kill all CD programs in order to keep logs to a sane size.

    It annoys me enough that I've considered removing all printk's
    from the cdrom drivers... I have no idea what is at fault..
