have already implemented it :-)

the ui at the moment is not an integrated as it should be, but it works 
flawlessly, is simple and thus can be extended/integrated with ease.

it is not implemented as a kded module at the moment (though conversion would 
be trivial), but a dcop service instead. reason for this is that it's not 
completely trivial code (has two threads, has linux system calls) and thus 
probably deserves its own process space.

as it is, it's mildly integrated into kde, has it's own kcm module, and will 
run any command you care to run when a specific type of media is inserted 
into one of the autodetected (or manually specified) optical drives.

i'll put it into kdenonbeta sometime today.
