I encountered this problem by doing the following on 12.04 64bit:
1. Start burning of iso via brasero, where I enabled "simulated"
2. while the simulation ran, I found out that a new release was released and I wanted to use the new iso, so i canceled the burning, while brasero was still simulating.
3. When I tried to burn the new iso, brasero couldn't eject the cdrom drive.

Fix:
The following fix from James Stewart Miller (jamesstewartmiller) worked.
sudo eject -i off /dev/cdrom fixed the problem for me.
