This is monodoc-generated documentation and it has not been filled in
with details, but the API should be fairly straight forward.

As for CD detection, yes, you can do this in managed. The detection in
Banshee is fully managed. The only unmanaged code is GStreamer related,
and a P/Invoke into an ioctl call to eject the disk. I need to add HAL
method call support to hal-sharp, and when I do, you could even do
ejecting in managed, however, it requires HAL 0.5.6 or better.
