Thanks for answering.
udev is responsible for creating, but hal is responsible for
hotplugging.... So....
I tried to use debugging with hal, but I did not see anything suspect (I
can be wrong, because I am not an expert...)
I tried to debug udev too, but this is almost impossible: logs go on
console at boot time, and are unreadable....

No, I don't try to mount music CD, video DVD are automatically mounted
and it is during this phase that the links are erased.
No non-data CDs arwe not
mounted in the usual sense. You see the icon on
the screen but running mount command will not find them mounted.
