Exactly.

I think that default is indeed wrong.

I think that if an application needs to lock the tray, then it should
explicitly ask for that (for example a cd recording application).

The current behavier is enough for me because I don't use CD/DVDs that
contain anything but standard filesystem data.
But for anybody that plays DVD, this is real problem.
