^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is a collection of CD-TOOLS out there which
include all eject, play, stop, ... commands.
I would suggest to look at:
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/cdtool-1.0.tgz
Also, if you want to have the CD eject when you unmount it,
write a shell script (call it cdumount?) a la

#!/bin/bash
umount /cdrom
cdeject

Easy enough?

Laterz,
