I think a single function API like cdio_eject_media_drive() is
sufficient.

I cannot think of a situation, where an application should care about
how the eject is realized internally, but maybe I'm wrong.
IMO it's more important to implement ejecting as reliable as possible,
which will probably involve trying several methods anyway.
