Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal

I think this may be a HAL bug, but could be caused by something else. When hald is running it occasionally detects an audio CD in /dev/hda when there isn't one there. This brings up Sound Juicer, puts an icon onto the desktop (I use kdesktop), and trying to open Rhythmbox causes it to check for the CD, bring up an error about being unable to load it then freeze. I also don't know how to get rid of these once they are detected, as right-click>eject doesn't do anything.
I am not sure what triggers these CDs to be detected yet, so I cannot give steps to reproduce sorry.
Here is the output of lspci if needed:
