On my system, if I press eject before unmounting the cdrom then nothing happens. 
it just doesn't eject. I can still unmount it after pressing the button then it will eject
if i press the button again. I have aliases for mounting and unmounting the cdrom
but I still manually press the button to eject after umount.
