From Scott's comments I take it that the mount/unmount of file systems is such a basic part of *nix that it might take some lateral thinking to circumvent it.
As for Sylvain's suggestion, I set up automounting this evening, but unfortunately this did not solve my problem: the same processes attached to /dev/cdrom were still open (5 belonging to wine and 1 to wineserver), and <eject> gave a "device busy" response.
you dont have to use "eject" if you have set the automount correctly. make sure you have edited your /etc/fstab to mount yhour cdrom drive with the automounter. then you can eject the cd without "eject"' and "umount". simply press the eject button of your drive.
