Bug Description
QEMU's block layer contains code for detecting and using ioctls when real CD-ROM host devices are attached.
This detection is not working in some host OSes while bad implemented on anothers.
E.g., in Linux host qemu -cdrom /dev/sr0 is not detecting it as a CD-ROM
E.g., in Mac OS X host qemu asks the kernel to enumerate optical devices and the compares it to the constant string "/dev/cdrom". This is useless, that enumeration is just enough, and "/dev/cdrom" will NEVER exist in Mac OS X unless manually created by the user.

The linux /dev/sr0 issue should be fixed upstream:
http:// git.savannah. gnu.org/ cgit/qemu. git/commit/ ?id=3baf720e6b9 20d583ce2834d05 e5a4e9603a1d56
Maybe it's worth a backport to stable
