If you do lsof /mnt/cdrom
it will tell you which processes are using the cdrom. If you are using a GUI you may find that File Managers seem to hang on to your drive for an inordinate amount of time.
If you are ruthless, like myself, you can just kill them.

sdl_cdopen
SDL_CDOpen(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CDOpen(3)
NAME
SDL_CDOpen - Opens a CD-ROM drive for access.
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_CD *SDL_CDOpen(int drive);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a CD-ROM drive for access. It returns a SDL_CD structure on success, or NULL if the drive was invalid or busy. This newly opened CD-
ROM becomes the default CD used when other CD functions are passed a NULL CD-ROM handle.
Drives are numbered starting with 0. Drive 0 is the system default CD-ROM.
EXAMPLES
SDL_CD *cdrom;
int cur_track;
int min, sec, frame;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
/* Check for CD drives */
if(!SDL_CDNumDrives()){
/* None found */
fprintf(stderr, "No CDROM devices available
");
exit(-1);
}
/* Open the default drive */
cdrom=SDL_CDOpen(0);
/* Did if open? Check if cdrom is NULL */
if(!cdrom){
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open drive: %s
", SDL_GetError());
exit(-1);
}
/* Print Volume info */
printf("Name: %s
", SDL_CDName(0));
printf("Tracks: %d
", cdrom->numtracks);
for(cur_track=0;cur_track < cdrom->numtracks; cur_track++){
FRAMES_TO_MSF(cdrom->track[cur_track].length, &min, &sec, &frame);
printf(" Track %d: Length %d:%d
", cur_track, min, sec);
}
SDL_CDClose(cdrom);
