At least on Monday I tried to copy an audio CD. And this has worked. At
least the image could be created. So /dev/sr0 must have been there. And
since linux 3.0.2-1 was created on Tuesday it must have been working
with linux 3.0.1-1. But I can't downgrade anymore, because I've
deleted the package from the cache.

Regarding the eject issue I'm still pretty sure, that this can only be
done by root. I have this issue with other USB devices, too.
