Looks good to me.

You want to have type, then id, to make it match the other signals.
Maybe future proof this and have:

type (CD), media_id (volume label), media_text (Extras Disk 4)

In this way we can do clever things in the UI comparing the media_id to
the volume label (using DeviceKit-disks) in the session if the wrong
disk is inserted.

Not GENERIC_DISK, you want to use UNKNOWN. You also need to prefix the
define with PK_MEDIA_TYPE_ENUM_

Right, and others can be added as required.

Sounds like a good plan. Are you going to code up a patch for the daemon
for this, or do you need a hand?
