Ahhh I see you CAN'T eject the CD.   Short-sightedness on my part I 
guess.  If it's a DVD then I unmount the disk so that it can be ejected, 
but if it's a data CD I leave it mounted.. 

How about a messagebox / osd box that says something like "You've just 
inserted a disk that Myth does not handle.  Would you like to eject it?" 
for unhandled types?
