Yeah it seems like optical drive naming is getting more confusing not
less. These commands might help:

$ hal-find-by-capability --capability storage.cdrom
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_<udi_string>

and then:
$lshal -u storage_serial_<udi_string>
or maybe:
$lshal -u storage_serial_<udi_string> |grep block.device
