Ok. So what's wrong with cdrecord using O_EXCL (and maybe retrying
for few seconds) so no other program (hald or, say, a user mistaking
a device) can interrupt it?

And, if we are here, what's wrong with hald using O_EXCL to not
interrupt any other program (does hald need to check the media
if it's in use)? I assume the problem wouldn't exist with hald
using O_EXCL and cdrecord not (yet) using it, would it?
