I have been spending most of the day ripping my audio CDs using KAudioCreator. After each CD finishes, when I go to push the CD drive's eject button, nothing happens, even after several tries. I need to open a terminal and use the eject command as root (normal user doesn't work).
When the CD drive is empty, or before I start ripping the inserted CD, the eject button on the drive responds immediately.
Can anybody else confirm this? If not, it's probably something on my system. If so, I'm filing a bug report.

In the KAudioCreator File menu is an option to eject the CD. Normally the drive should both open and close when selecting that menu option. Does that menu option work at all?

I didn't try the one on the menu (didn't know it existed), though I did click the eject button next to the rip button below the menus. This didn't work.
Once my current CD is done, I'll try the one in the menu, though considering the button didn't work, I doubt the menu entry would.

Test the menu option without a CD. That is all I did here. I'll see whether I can find time to actually rip a CD and let you know more.

It won't eject an empty drive, either with the button or with the menu button.

Huh. I'm screwed. I don't have kaudiocreator installed in 3.5.13. There is no T-Menu option, I checked the package and the binary is not there. I'm building again right now to watch the build log. This is all uncomfortably strange.
I checked my old 3.5.12 package and the binary is there.
(What I shared thus far was from 3.5.10.).

Okay, I rebuilt kdemultimedia and now have a kaudiocreator app. :)
Seems I can open and close the drive tray, both with the hardware button and the menu and toolbar button.
I noticed that kaudiocreator is horribly slow to respond when busy. Horribly. Like the app can't multitask. During those times I am unable to open or close the drive tray.
I found no way to halt the ripping process once started.

Did you try after ripping a CD? That's when mine first failed.
It seems after reboot, the Eject function in KAudioCreator works only once, then won't work again.

On the Jobs tab, you'll see three buttons at the bottom: Remove Completed Jobs, Remove All Jobs, Remove selected jobs. Removing all jobs will cause it to stop ripping. On my system, it hangs for a minute after I click it before asking to confirm.

Oh, yes, that is intuitively obvious. :)
Yes, very slow to respond.
In my one test run yesterday, the rip succeeded up until the last file which was called DATA. The ripping process seemed to stall at that point. When I attempted to close the app I was greeted with a message that ripping was still in progress. Not sure what to make of all that.
Very slow to respond. Zombie dead slow. :)

The only reason I use it is because I'm too lazy to run cdda2wav then convert to FLAC or Ogg Vorbis (WAV doens't support tagging) ;-)
There's a reason it can't rip DATA, because it's not AUDIO :-)
Any CD with a data track is one of those Enhanced CDs (it's formatted so it can have a bunch of Audio tracks, then have a Data track with bonus content, most likely requiring either Windows or Mac).
